134455 - window.status message stops script

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 117707

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Anca Buit]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020311
BuildID:    2002031104

if mozilla is not allowed to change the statusbar text (prefs->advanced->scripts
& windows), scripts on pages that use window.status stop working.
An errormessage is seen in the javascript console ("error: uncaught exception:
Permission denied to set property Window.Defaultstatus")
Now pages that are otherwise ok (DOM-compliant) won't work.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to prefs->advanced->scripts & windows
2. Uncheck "change statusbar text"
3. Close and then restart mozilla
4. Visit any page with a statusbar message

Actual Results:  All javascript on page stops working.

Expected Results:  ignore the statusbar-message and run the rest of the script
as it should
