stacktrace of the crash when too many windows are opened by target="
37.83 KB, text/plain
Details
2002061103 1.1a for MacOS9. Display a frame in a window by Show Only This Frame. If this frame contains a link with a target="main", which is not currently displayed in any window, clicking such link multiple times can cause Mozilla to open so many windows. If the number of the windows being opened by this action gets too large, Mozilla crashes the entire system. Expected result:Mozilla should not open more than one window as target.
Adding crash and regression KW.
Keywords: crash, regression
Summary: a link with target="main" can open multiple windows if clicked rapidly, can crash the system. → a link with target="main" can open multiple windows, and, if clicked rapidly, can crash 1.1a.
Could you provide a testcase?
Say you open a URL that has a source like the one below. Mozilla will open leftframe.html and rightframe.html in two frames. Now you select the left frame and display it by Show Only This Frame. If there is a link in leftframe.html with target="right" attribute, clicking such a link should open a new window and the linked URL is displayed in it. However, current builds of Mozilla allows such link to be opened in multiple windows if the link is clicked multiple times. By rapidly clicking the link, one can force OS9.x build to continue opening new windows till it crashes the entire system. OSX build also allows such link to open so many windows as the number of times the link is clicked, but does not cause crash. <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>test frames</TITLE> </HEAD> <FRAMESET COLS="30%,70%"> <FRAME SRC="leftframe.html" NAME=left MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0> <FRAME SRC="rightframe.html" NAME=right MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0> </FRAMESET> </HTML>
Summary: a link with target="main" can open multiple windows, and, if clicked rapidly, can crash 1.1a. → a link with target=" attribute can open multiple windows, and, if clicked rapidly, can crash 1.1a.
