131635 - Ctrl+T (Open new tab) doesn't work when page starts loading

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 110718

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Brett Denny]

Summary:  Ctrl+T (Open new tab) doesn't work when page starts loading
Build ID:  2002031503

Using CTRL+T in the first few seconds after a page starts loading does not open
a new tab, providing other tabs are not already open.  However, if the single
tab that is open is showing (i.e. not set as hidden in the preferences), right
clicking on it and selecting "New Tab" works fine.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Open browser.
2.  Begin loading a page (works best on slow connections or slow sites
3.  Press Ctrl+T immediately.

Expected Result:
A new tab should open up

Actual Result:
No new tab will be displayed until the loading gets to a certain point (no idea
what).  Usually after a few seconds it will work again.  Right clicking and
opening a new tab will always work.

sounds a lot like bug 76495?

check out bug 131635, which seems to describe the same thing but with all
keyboard shortcuts and not just New Tab.

I'm pretty sure it's a dupe of bug 76495

Since bug 764595 comment 121 reopened many bugs that are dupes of each other
(but not bug 764595 apparently), trying to better resolve the situation.
