141125 - Mozilla becomes very slow on form text entry

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Erik]

Environment:
==============
OS: Win NT 4.0 SP-6
Mozilla BuildID:    2002042908



Summary:
=========
Right after loading http://support.acer-euro.com/faqs/faqsearch.html Mozilla
slows down the whole system and at least on my machine it's nearly impossible to
work with the system...

Reproducible: always



Steps to Reproduce:
====================

1. start mozilla

2. enter http://support.acer-euro.com/faqs/faqsearch.html

3. right after loading of the page click the datafield and enter some text



Actual Results:  
================
A couple of seconds nothing happens and then the entered chars appear in the
datafield - but very very slow...
Additionally Mozilla blocks the whole system as it's not possible to switch to
another task...



Expected Results:  
==================
Page loads and it's possible to enter the search text (wich appears as soon as I
type it) without any blocking of the whole system.



Additional Information:
========================
With IE 5.5 and Netscape 4.51 no problems occured on this page...

WFM (2002061808 win2k) - probably a duplicate of 141900. marking as a duplicate.

reporter (Erik): if I'm wrong and you are still seeing this problem in a recent
build (for example, 1.0 or 1.1alpha), then please reopen this bug. thanks.

Sorry Michael - this problem is still present using Mozilla 1.1a (Build
2002061104) - hence re-opening bug...

reduping

bug 141900 is not fixed in 1.1alpha (fixed : 2002-06-13 14:15)

I just checked

  http://support.acer-euro.com/faqs/faqsearch.html

and it is much faster now with a recent trunk build. Try downloading a nightly
build after 06/13/02 from:

  ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly

Comment 5

[Erik]

The build I'm using here right now is 

2002070108

This should be ok - shouldn't it?

btw: the machine I'm on is a P-III 500 with 512 MB RAM...

Comment 6

[Michael Lefevre]

yes, that should be fine (assuming you have a trunk build - Help:About should 
show "rv: 1.1a+")

Comment 7

[Erik]

Well - that's what I tried to find out with Kin as I was not sure whether I
downloaded a trunk or not...

Here's what the about-box shows:

Mozilla 1.1a+
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.1a+) Gecko/20020701

Is this the correct type (trunk)?

Comment 8

[Michael Lefevre]

yes, that's a trunk build, and this bug should be fixed in that.

Comment 9

[Erik]

Well... I can confirm that the fix for bug #141900 is contained in my build by
checking the pages which had problems prior this fix, which now work fine for me.

But the problems on the acer FAQ page still remain as described above in the
bug-description!

So re-opening _this_ bug - or bug #141900 ?

Comment 10

[Erik]

As problem still exists with trunk build 20020703 I re-open the bug...

Comment 11

[Vidar Haarr (not reading bugmail)]

WFM on WinXP trunk build 2002072104.

Although I see a small 'lag' between entering the text, and the text appearing
(see bug 158782).

Comment 12

[Michael Lefevre]

WFM with 1.1 release on win2k.

reporter (Erik): can you still reproduce this bug with a recent build of mozilla
(for example, the 1.1 release)? if so, please comment again with details. if
not, please resolve this as WORKSFORME. thanks.

Comment 13

[Erik]

Problem still persists using Mozilla 1.1b and Windows NT 4.0 - I will try again
on my system @home which runs Win2k and I can also check on my girl-friend's
system which runs Win 98SE, but here @work the problem is still present!

Comment 14

[Daniel Wang]

regression? see bug 165032

Comment 15

[Erik]

Problem does _not_ occur on my girl-friends Win98SE system - will check also on
Win2k, but I guess, this will work, too...

Comment 16

[Erik]

Problem does not occur on my system @home using Windows 2000... Perhaps someone
can check this out with another system using Windows NT 4.0?

Comment 17

[Michael Hendy (Hendikins)]

I can't reporduce it on the box running Windows NT 4.0 Server that's sitting
next to me...

Comment 18

[Michael Lefevre]

I guess that's enough to mark this as working now...

if anyone can reproduce this, please reopen. thanks.

Comment 19

[Erik]

Ok folks - problem still persists on my side using Phoenix 0.4 and Mozilla 1.2b
- but of course you're right: if noone else is able to reproduce this baby using
Windoze NT 4.0 we can mark it WFM...
