125099 - title bar keeps blinking

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 116074

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Michael Wardle]

mozilla 2002020406 (0.9.8 release) on Win2000

my title bar keeps flashing/blinking, and won't stop no matter what i do.  this
is a real annoyance (PITA).

i'm using tabbed browsing, and i think it started blinking when i set a page to
load, went to the mail window, then an error occured loading the page, but i'm
not sure.

i've tried minimizing all windows, and i can't see any error dialog to close,
i've tried clicking on each tab, minimizing, maximizing, and manually reloading
most (not all) tabs.

it's the first time i've seen this, but it's pretty darned annoying.

tried right-click->reload all tabs, no change.
tried going back to mail, clicking a bit, reading all new mail, no change.
tried closing the problematic tabs (leaving non-problematic tabs open), no change.
nothing seems to stop it.

naturally, the button on the Windows taskbar also flashes when the browser
window is not the active window.

I've seen this too - only happens on occasion and I haven't ever been able to
consistantly reproduce it.  I thought it might have been a problem with Win XP
since I only saw it once I swiched from 2000 but I don't see this in any other
applications.
