126872 - mozilla ignoring navigation commands much of the time

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 126646

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Jonathan Abbey]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.8+) Gecko/20020220
BuildID:    2002022015

The last couple of Mozilla builds on Linux (20020220xx) have shown
repeated failures to navigate when i click on links or when i enter
a url in the navbar and hit return.

I'm seeing this a lot on slashdot.org, but when I entered 'bugzilla.mozilla.org'
in the URL bar and hit return, it ignored it until I hit return a second time.

Likewise, if I right-click on the background and use the pop-up menu to go back
or forward, it often seems to ignore it.  If I then go 'back' or 'forward' a
second or a third time, it'll eventually notice and properly start the throbber
throbbing, but when I go to the new page, it looks like my forward/backs have
stacked, as I wind up 2 or 3 pages forward/back.

The throbber will always start to animate if it 'catches' my navigation command,
and it will never start to animate if it doesn't.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Try to enter a URL in the URL bar, or click on a link, or use f/b in the
pop-up menu
2.See if it works
3.Try, try again

Actual Results:  It didn't always navigate away properly

Expected Results:  Mozilla should have responded to my clicks on links, to my
use of the forward and back options in the pop-up menu, and to my entering URL's
in the navbar
