Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Sean Dougherty]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.6) Gecko/20011120
BuildID:    

When quickly middle-clicking on links to open tabs in the background, Mozilla
crashes with a segmentation fault.

Mozilla 0.9.6 is not affected, but 0.9.7 and the latest nightly build (1/11)
have the problem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set browser to open tabs in background by middle-clicking on links.
2. Go to cnn.com or any page that has lots of links.
3. Rapidly middle-click on six or seven links and wait a few seconds.

Actual Results:  Browser hangs for a few seconds and then crashes with the
following message:

/usr/local/mozilla/run-mozilla.sh: line 72:  4397 Segmentation fault      $prog
${1+"$@"}


Expected Results:  Opened pages.  Not crashed.

The Talkback dialog never came up.

hmm, i wasn't able to repro this [tested at cnn.com] using 2002.01.14.08 comm
linux bits.

side note: i did find a crasher while middle-clicking js links, bug 119428. but
prolly unrelated...

This doesn't seem to affect the 2002012108 Linux build.  Everything works fine
for me now.

mass-verifying WorksForMe bugs.

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