99831 - Middle mouse button opens two new windows from Link.

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Frank Hellmann]

When using the third mouse button to Open Link in New Window it occasionally
opens two new Windows with the link in short succession.
I am not 100% positive on this but I think it happens if you Alt-Tab away from
the window before the Theme is drawn. (Hard to catch moment I'm on a fast machine)

Sorry about that...

Using Mozilla 0.9.4 on Win 98, Build ID 2001091303

No deterministic reproducability, but seen frequently on Mozillazine
(www.mozillazine.org) comments threads:
Simply go through the comments opening each one with middle mous button.
Eventually it will open two windows in short succesion with the link you just
clicked on.

This *seems* to happen always if you Alt-Tab away before the Theme is drawn, but
that's a hard to catch moment on a fast PC.But it happens without Alt-Tabin
back, too. (Just did when I opened the Bug-Writing Guidelines from Asa's Link)

Possibly related to some of the Instances reported in Bug 97067 comments.

Sorry for my inaccurate talk, I'm just a User.

Frank: As bug 97067 is now fixed, are you still seeing this bug with a more
recent build?
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/mozilla-win32-talkback.zip
(as always, be sure to delete your old Mozilla directory before installing the
new one)

Nope not seeing this with the current nightlies anymore.
I will test on a slower machine tomorrow.

Marking WFM per reporter's comment ("not seeing this with the current nightlies
anymore"). 

Frank: If you see this on your slower machine tomorrow, please reopen this bug.

I still see the Problem with 0.9.5 but it's become rather rare, unfortunately I
didn't get a chance to test it on a slow machine and probably wont for a couple
of days.
There is a comment in bug 97067 that that problem persists there, too.
Leaving as WFM for the moment until I get to test some more, though...

if you think this particular bug is *still* an open issue, please make sure of
the following before reopening:

a. that it's still a problem with ***recent trunk builds*** on the all
appropriate platform[s]

b. provide clear steps to reproduce (unless a good test case is already in the
bug report), making sure it pertains to the original problem (avoid morphing as
much as possible :)
