143785 - use of bookmark button makes mozilla become crappy

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 143031

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Stephane Louise]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux ppc; en-US; rv:1.0.0+) Gecko/20020510
BuildID:    2002050923

When clicking on bookmark button/pop-down menu in personnal
toolbar a strange mouse cursor looking like a plus in a left-upper
corner appears, with a drag and drop icon. Mozilla is freezed until
next external X11 clear event (like clicking on another window).
Then the menu close butthe drag and drop icon follows the mouse
cursor until next X11 event. At this time, Mozilla start to
access some random link in the bookmark or sometime try to
access http://bookmark-button.(my-default-network).
Mozilla becomes from that point very slow as a browser (taking
dozens of minutes to download and render any html page, even
from local disks) and rendering is sometime instable (unable
to get images from sites or css, ...).

This is very reproducible on my system.

I hope you will quickly slash this one.
Thank you for the good job.

Actual Results:  A strange mouse cursor looking like a plus in a left-upper
corner appears, with a drag and drop icon. Mozilla is freezed until
next external X11 clear event (like clicking on another window).
Then the menu close butthe drag and drop icon follows the mouse
cursor until next X11 event. At this time, Mozilla start to
access some random link in the bookmark or sometime try to
access http://bookmark-button.(my-default-network).
Mozilla becomes from that point very slow as a browser (taking
dozens of minutes to download and render any html page, even
from local disks) and rendering is sometime instable (unable
to get images from sites or css, ...).

Expected Results:  Bookmark menu drop down gently with an ordinary cursor and i
am able to click on a bookmark entry in order to access the chosen

Tested on LinuxPPC kernel 2.2.16 glibc 2.2.4 XFree86 4.0 gnome 1.2
and Debian PPC testing kernel 2.4.17 with gnome 1.4
The previous nightly build from May the 8th had the same comportment
My previous one from around April the 15th was fine though.

I would like to confirm this exact behaviour on Linux build 2002051310. This is
probably also a duplicate of bug 144251.
