From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.0.0+) Gecko/20020502 BuildID: 2002050208 Mozilla correctly displays the Site Navigation Bar (I have it set to "as needed") when I do a bugzilla search, but if I click on the back button and then search for something that has "Zarro Boogs found", the site navigation bar seems to cache the result. What this means is that if I click on any of the buttons (eg "Last") the result displayed is, for example, the last on the previous list. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to bugzilla 2. Enter a search string that will yield results (like "XML"). 3. Once the page is displayed, click the back button. 4. Enter a search string that will not yield result (I have found that "Zarro Boogs" works :). 5. Click on the "Last" button on the Site Navigation Bar. 6. You should be taken to the last bug on the previous list. Actual Results: I was taken to the last bug on the previous last Expected Results: I would have expected Mozilla to "grey" out the options on the bar.
Stuart, can you take a look sometime?

trying with other sites, I don't see any sign of the bar "caching" results. I would guess the problem was simply that bugzilla was generating the first / last / next / previous links in a quirky way - the caching is/was in the bugzilla code (it uses cookies), not in the link bar. suggest resolving this as WORKSFORME, if not, then it's a bugzilla bug rather than a mozilla bug. reporter (Trevor): do (or did) you see this on any other sites?
No, but I didn't try other sites either. Your explaination sounds feasible Michael, I'll try it out on other sites at home tonight and see if I can reproduce the same results as you.
Trevor: are you still out there? can you reproduce this with a recent build of mozilla (e.g. 1.1beta)? if you can, please comment with details. if not, please resolve this as WORKSFORME. thanks.
Sorry, I have been flat out like a lizard drinking. Stupid question, but I can't find how to turn on the site navigation bar. Any hints? I don't know if it matters or not, but my build is 20020606 (1.0). Thanks.
no problem. you can't get the site navigation bar in 1.0 - it was removed from the 1.0 build because of performance problems. for bug reports to be useful, they have to be identified against recent builds anyway - try downloading 1.1beta (or a recent nightly trunk build). in my experience, 1.1beta is as stable as 1.0, but do read the release notes.
WFM with 2002090704/trunk/win2k. reporter (Trevor): can you reproduce this bug with a recent build of mozilla (for example, 1.1)? if so, please comment again with details. if not, please resolve this bug as WORKSFORME. thanks.
I have (finally!) got around to verifying this... and yes it "WORKSFORME".
