101701 - Javascipt generated content causes reload of every image when a new image appears

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Graphics: ImageLib, defect)

Description

[mop]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.3+) Gecko/20010908
BuildID:    

My ticker consists of two parts. A message and finally a trashcan where you can
delete the message. There's only one message in the ticker which repeats all the
time. Every time the message is finished and the trashcan appears it reloads the
image for all messages shown (up to 5 messages displayed) causing a LOT of
unnecessary traffic.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Download my attached tar.gz. And put it somewhere. You can easily see what i
mean if you refer to your webservers log. If you don't have a webserver simply
rename the "eimer.jpg" before opening the ticker.html. When there are a few
messages in the browser rename it bakc to eimer.jpg.

Actual Results:  Mozilla reloads every image as soon as it accesses a new
"eimer.jpg".

Expected Results:  Mozilla should cache the eimer.jpg once and not reload it all
the time.

Marking these all WORKSFORME sorry about lack of response but were very
overloaded here. Only reopen the bug if you can reproduce with the following steps:

1) Download the latest nightly (or 0.9.6 which should be out RSN)
2) Create a new profile
3) test the bug again

If it still occurs go ahead and reopen the bug. Again sorry about no response
were quite overloaded here and understaffed.
