155182 - Stalled browser during critical period when opening pages in tabs

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 155181

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Jacob Vogelstein]

From Bugzilla Helper:

BuildID:    2002053012

This bug appears consistently when I use the tabbed browser interface.  It is
manifested when i go to a new page or open a link in a new tab -- the tab
initially displays "loading" with the circular-arrows and things work ok, but
shortly after displaying the new page's title, the arrows stop moving, the
animation in the mozilla graphic at the top right corner of the screen halts,
and the browser becomes unresponsive to mouse-clicks or anything else until the
new page finishes loading.  Other mozilla windows are also frozen during this
time.  The status line usually (but not always) says "Loading data from <website>"

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open any page in mozilla
2.Open a new tab
3.Type in a new website in the address line or click on a bookmark
4.Attempt to switch between tabs or other mozilla windows

Actual Results:  The browser (and mail client) are unresponsive during some
period of time between when the page begins to load and finishes loading

Expected Results:  Switched smoothly between tabs and windows and loaded the new
page in the background

I am using the Pinball theme.
