103217 - quitting mozilla leaves mozilla process in background which screws up later launches (window.open)

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Julian Coombes]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010913
BuildID:    2001091311

clicking on the www.seventhgen.com link on the above pages doesn't do anything.
However once I do, mozilla will not close cleanly and leaves processes in the
background when examined with gtop, although there's nothing visible on the
screen. It appears the problem is with the handling of the JAVASCRIPT:openPopWin
command which is displayed on the status bar when the mouse pointer hovers over
the link.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.browser to www.cancerdecisions.com/tips/sites.html
2.click on the www.seventhgen.com link
3.observe.

Actual Results:  Nothing

Expected Results:  A new window displaying a page maybe. (I'm not sure if
"openPopWin" is IE specific javascript)

Browser, not engine --> Browser-General

Using Mozilla trunk binaries 20011004xx on WinNT, Linux, and Mac 9.1.
Confirming bug. I see it on the Mac, but not on Linux or WinNT.
OS : Linux --> All.

On the Mac, my experience is exactly the same as the reporter's: 
when I click on the www.seventhgen.com link, no popup comes up.
Then when I quit Mozilla, an unseen Mozilla process is still running.

The fact that the popup works for me on Linux and WinNT would suggest
there is nothing wrong with the JavaScript at the site. It's something
to do with the window creation code... 

i.e. perhaps a new window is being created of height =0, width = 0.
I'll bet this is a duplicate of an existing bug, but I can't find it -

This sounds somewhat similar to bug 101323.  Both involve window.open not 
working and result in Mozilla forgetting to shut down when the last window as 
closed.

Does the stop button disappear when you click the link, or does nothing happen 
at all?  (I'm unable to reproduce this bug on yesterday's build.)

Jesse: when I click on the link, the Stop button still shows.
But as soon as I mouse off the link, it disappears! The traffic-light
icon has gone (but the "Stop" text is still there).

Reporter: 
Can you please retest this with a nightly build ?
This one should be fixed... (bug 8xxxx)

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

Julian, have you had a chance to test this again?
