113976 - Images Preferences screen malfunctions

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 112520

(Core :: Graphics: Image Blocking, defect)

Description

[joshua rodman]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:0.9.6) Gecko/20011120
BuildID:    2001112012

Edit -> Prefs -> Privacy & Security -> Images

Currently 

( ) Do not load any images
(x) Accept images that come from the originating server only
( ) Accept all images

Clicking on the radio button For Accept all images results in this:

( ) Do not load any images
(x) Accept images that come from the originating server only
(x) Accept all images

At this point clicking OK may result in a delay of between
5 seconds (current) up to many minutes (more than 10) seen 
previously.. at which point I gave up and killed mozilla.

Perhaps this is just a synchronous operation where an 
async one is needed?  But the gui should not leave two
radio buttons selected.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
see description

Actual Results:  see description

Expected Results:  see description

This problem seems to be worse after mozilla has been running for
some time.  I'm not sure if that's a performance issue, or 
corruption/bugs/etc.

So what is the bug.  Is it the fact that there are two radio buttons selected at 
the same time.  In that case it is a dup of bug 112520.  Or is it the fact that 
there is a delay.

Assuming the former and closing this out as a dup.  If you meant it to be the 
latter, then see if it is still happening in a recent build in which bug 112520 
has been fixed.  If you see it there, then open a separate report that is on the 
delay only.

Oops, sorry, I see that 112520 has not been fixed but rather reassigned.  So 
ignore that comment above.

But please do open a separate bug report on the delay problem if you are still 
seeing that.
