61590 - Modal "OK" warning windows eat CPU - see trace

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 56978

(Core :: XUL, defect, P3)

Description

[John Hayward-Warburton]

When a modal window (such as "The connection was refused when attempting to
contact...") appears on Linux, the browser loops through this:

poll([{fd=8, events=POLLIN}, {fd=15, events=POLLIN}, {fd=5, events=POLLIN,
revents=POLLIN}, {fd=36, events=POLLIN}], 4, 0) = 1
gettimeofday({975585802, 671095}, NULL) = 0
ioctl(8, FIONREAD, [0])                 = 0

while waiting for "OK" to be clicked. This has been seen on my system for a
while, but latest is nightly 2000112821.

This happens for all Javascript prompt(), alert(), and confirm() dialogs.

bug 56978 just got fixed.  Please retest this?  (no mozilla here at the moment)

Looks good.  prompt(), alert(), confirm() dialogs no longer hog CPU.

Marking duplicate.
