102499 - Source view does not show ALL source

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 55583

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[r.navalinskas]

Sometime source viewer does not show part of the source, though browser displays
the page correctly. In my case, it skipped one of the page's <div>...</div>
sections. I tried to save the source with IE5.5 and then put the source file
locally ant on the web. In both cases Mozilla showed all the source, however, it
did not when page was read from the original location (btw, IE5.5 showed all the
source in all cases). Unfortunately, due to security constraints, I cannot give
you URL of the site.

Using build: 2001093008 on Win2000 Pro.

Could be related to several bugs. 

1) Does the page load completely before you view source? 
2) Have you tried loading view/source a 2nd time immediately following the 1st one

Reporter: Without a testcase, there's not much more we can do :-(. If you can
make a simple testcase, please attach it to this bug:

even just the original site's URL would help....

It seems, that this problem could be due to cache problems. I noticed, that
eventhough page is shown correctly, source is shown according to very old
version of the page. I tried to to clear memory & disk cache through
Edit->Preferences (or manually deleting files) and restart browser, however this
did not help.

The same applies to Edit Page option from the file menu. Composer opens the
version of the page, that is shown in source viewer, but not the one that is
displayed. 

Why must "source view" have different source of information from the one, used
by the browser to display a page ? It is nightmare for web-developer.

I tried with build 2001101103 on Win2000Pro, but this problems remains. Is
anything being done about this problem ?

Yes.  It's being worked on.

Since you did not see fit to provide a testcase or URL, I'm going to assume
based on your problem description that this is the usual "view source does not
load from cache" problem.
