155459 - Resource leak browsing local fs

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Rob North]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530
BuildID: 2002053012

If you browse back and forth between 2 locations on the local fs
you can easily consume all the resources on a win98 machine.


Preconditions:
Mozilla browser is open.
Directory A.  –Usually file:///C:/
Driectory B. –Usually file:///C:/Program Files





Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
	1.Open directory A, by entering in location bar.
	2.Open directory B, by entering in location bar.
	3.Use “back 1 page” button to return to direcory A
	4.Use “forward 1 page” button to return to direcotry B
	5. Repeat 3 & 4 a couple of times.


Actual Results:  After a couple of iterations, the GDI & System resources
decreases by approx 5-10% for each click of forward & back buttons.
	(Resources analysed using windows Resource meter)


Expected Results:  Resource consumption for each page should be constant.

Further steps:
1. Open file menu and click File->Exit.

Result:
All resources are recovered.
(Better than IE, once it’s got it’s mits on some resources, then you’re stuck)

Discussion:
This is an extremely rapid resource leak, please fix in 1.0.1

OK, Shuold have submitted it as a Networking:File bug, moving it to that component.

-> NEW - Mozilla 1.0, Win98
+mozilla 1.1, nsbeta1, hang

I did this until the values read "0%", and then I got a warning that if I didn't
stop, I would crash freeze my system.

reporter: in the future, please change ownership to the defaults when you switch
components.

I cant' reproduce this bug with 1.0.1 nightly build (Windows 2000)
I think that this is a dup of bug 144879, wich was fixed around june 21 on trunk
& branch.
Reporter, can you try with a nightly build ?

Will try to test with windows tomorrow.
(I'm currently using Mozilla largely on Linux.)

Eventually I got round to testing it.
I think this is fixed.
See no resource leak at all.

Build tested: 2002100108

The only thing different is that i've moved my theme from Pinball to Modern.

I haven't had this problem again, but I don't know if it's been 'fixed' , maybe
just left verified or unresolved then closed or something?
