Hey Alice0775,

Let me try to rehash what has happened here.

Bug 1213650 was originally filed by you. [e-mail] then followed up in that bug reporting experiencing a similar thing.

I eventually posted a patch, and [e-mail] reported that it made things improve in bug 1213650 comment 34 (in that it was harder for him to reproduce the issue). I accidentally gave you a link in bug 1213650 comment 41 to the backout build, which is why it fixed things for you.

So I landed the patches that made things better for [e-mail], and filed bug 1226657 for the rarer case that you were still hitting.

So that's why I'm confused about why this bug was filed, because I filed bug 1226657 to cover the case you were hitting.

The problem is not rare case. It happens almost 100% when I try.

Before landing Bug 1175267, Never experienced this problem.

I guess this should be RESOLVED WORKSFORME when the backout of bug 1175267 hits central. Alice0775, can you please confirm when you have a build?
