118357 - chrome javascript blocked by tab actions

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 102914

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Geraint]

In 0.9.7 in Linux or Win2000 follow these steps:
1. open a new browser session + type in a URL/select bookmark etc.
2. press ctl-t + type in a URL/select bookmark etc.
3. kill the tab with the 'x'
4. try to open mail from the chrome menu

*nothing happens!*

This common sequence seems to disrupt the javascript processing in the chrome. 
I also can't open the javascript console to see if there are any errors.

if you have 'user_pref("dom.disable_open_during_load", true);' set in prefs.js, 
then this is bug 102914

Comment 3

[Geraint]

In my prefs.js file I do indeed have 

user_pref("dom.disable_open_during_load", true);

which I did not set myself.

It therefore appears that this is a duplicate of 102914 but I would argue for a
severity greater than *minor* since opening and closing tabs is likely to be a
common activity and accessing mail (and other XUL windows) is basic core
functionality.
