145423 - window.status show across all tabs

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 104532

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Philip Bragg]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0+) Gecko/20020502
BuildID:    2002050210 and RC2

When a page contains a javascript which sets window.status the effect shows
across all tabs during tabbed browsing. This means one website may be able to
apparently influence the content of another.
Javascript window.status scrollers produce chaotic effects.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a URL containing a javascript scroller
2.Open another one, in a new tab
3.Watch the confusion, open a few more tabs.

Actual Results:  The status bar will show a mixture of status from all tabs,
regardless of which tab is selected

Expected Results:  It should show window.status for the tab which is selected an
no others. 

Because this bug allows one URL's content to influence the display of another
URL I consider it to be of high importance and a "Major" bug.
