Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 104532

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

It would appear that scripting in one tab affects the status bar when other tabs
are being viewed.  Script appears to be JavaScript.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. In initial tab, open a page that constantly updates status bar with timer
countdown or something.
2. Open a new tab.
3. Go to any web site.

Actual Results:  Status bar for the page with static content shows the status as
if I were viewing the other tab.

Expected Results:  Statusbar shows appropriate status for each tab.

The specific page that uses the JavaScipt is
http://www.protonic.com/techs/vt.php?id=61539.  You will probably have to be
signed up as a Protonic technician to view this page.  This is free to do.
