239004 - Won't reload timed out pages in eBay

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[rc5017]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

Sometimes I load several items or searches in eBay.  On a slow connection, a
page will time out.  Hitting the reload button does nothing, I have to close the
window and paste the URL into a new window in order to load the page.

IOW, on a timed out page in eBay, the reload button is useless.  Mozilla might
time out on other sites, but eBay is the only one in which I load more than a
couple of pages at a time.

Otherwise, a -great- browser.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load many items/searches in eBay
2. One or more of the later searches will time out depending on connect speed
3. Hitting reload button does nothing

Actual Results:  
Nothing, I had to close the window and paste the URL into the new window to load
the page.  even several minutes after I looked at the other pages and nothing
was loading, the page wouldn't reload.  Not even if it was the only page on the
screen.

Expected Results:  
Have the reload key reload the page.

Classic theme/standard configuration.
