54277 - Search results flash repeatedly in sidebar

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 51211

(SeaMonkey :: Search, defect, P3)

Description

[johng]

- Do a search at Netscape.com or any other engine for which we have a local
sherlock file.
- Notice that the sidebar pops open with the Search tab open and listing the
results.
- Also note how the search results flash repeatedly.

True with build 2000092604 and I think also true for the last week.

If you mean what I mean, then I see now in Win2k and 092808 here that the 
matches in the search sidebar are being repeatedly displayed! Its even an 
endless loop, which hogs memory for a while, while filling the sidebar and then 
its not crashing but the browser shuts down itself (console shows Hey you are in 
QFA shutdown! and exits).

If someone can reproduce this, this bug should probably a blocker or critical at 
least.

also adding keyword rtm - this is a bad problem.

damn it took a long time to find this dupe. This is a dupe of bug 51211 via bug 53587.
