102677 - Opening a new tab cause constant reloading of the page

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Jerome Lacoste]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.4+)
Gecko/20010930
BuildID:    2001093008

When I open a new tab such that my new tab's name is at the right side of the
screen, the page loads and reloads continously.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Mozilla
2. Open just as many tabs to almost fill up the screen with their names. If you
were to open a new one, the new tab name would be touching or crossing the
browser's width
3. open a new tab and point it on
http://www.debianplanet.org/debianplanet/article.php?sid=409&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0


Actual Results:  The page loads and reloads continuously.

Expected Results:  Page loads once

You can also reproduce the bug by opening the sidebar so that the tab containing
the URL 'gets too close to the right side'
Note: this behavior appeared initially only when I was using tabs up to the
right side. Now it appears also when I am not.... Perhaps is it only linked to
the URL?   It only does it on that URL.
So I am not sure of the description anymore. Anyway, that's how I manage to
reproduce it.

I am the reporter: I see the same reloading behavior as well on build
2001100403, with slightly different reproductible steps

- open a window
[- open or not any bar]
- load the page http://mandrakeforum.com/article.php?sid=881&lang=en
- open a new tab -> starts reloading.

Really anoying..
Note if you close the opened bar, it stops reloading. I've seen that on several
other pages as well.

I am the reporter and I don't see this bug anymore. I think it disappeared with
the new page 'tab-partitioning' code 1 month ago.

[e-mail] could you check if you still see the problem?
I recommend changing the status to FIXED.

mass-verifying WorksForMe bugs.

reopen only if this bug is still a problem with a *recent trunk build*.
