115285 - Timeout issues when displaying the browser window to an X-Terminal

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Edward.Lichorobiec]

Running OpenVMS 7.3  Digital TCP/IP Services 5.1-5 on an Alpha 4100 with
Mozilla 0.9-6.

When I log in locally to the Alpha 4100 server at the console and run Mozilla 
locally with the following display characteristics:
     Device:          WSA1:   [exec]
     Node:            0
     Transport:       Local
     Server:          0
     Screen:          0
I don't seem to have any problems.

When I set my display to be that of a DEC VXT or PC running Reflections such as 
the following:
     Device:          WSA13:   [super]
     Node:            xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
     Transport:       TCPIP
     Server:          0
     Screen:          0
I then walk over to the VXT or PC and start browsing around the web.  A lot of 
times as I go from page to page while surfing the page does not update or looks 
like it times out and leaves whitespace on the screen.  I then have to always 
right click on the panel and then choose reload frame to get back to my 
previous page.  It is very annoying and we are trying to make this work because 
our manufacturing environment has about 250 VXT terminals spread throughout 4 
buildings and we would like to be able to serve up our manufacturing 
documentation to the operators on the floor using a browser on our current VXT 
manufacturing terminals which are already setup on the floors.

Instead of reloading the page, what happens if you resize the toplevel window a
little bit?

Comment 3

[Colin Blake]

What version of DECwindows? 

Have you tried running Mozilla with either of these options:

  --sync
  --no-xshm

I'm not sure exactly what they do, and I doubt they'll make a difference, but 
its worth a shot.

I just received this via email from Edward:

> Sorry for the late response, but we have resolved the issue by moving the
> Alpha server onto the same LAN segment as the VXT X-window terminals.

Marking bug worksforme.
