1568 - Hitting "Back" button crashes on imagemap

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Viewer App, defect, P1)

Description

[Eli Goldberg]

Using the 11.23.98a builds of Viewer & XP Viewer (checked on Win98 & NT 4):

1. Go to www.apple.com
2. Select any of the destinations at the bottom of the page (I tried
"Support", "Design and Publishing", and "Developer"
3. Hit the "Back" button.

Upon reaching the http://www.apple.com/main/maps/navbar2.map "page", the viewer
goes down. (Talkback ID for crashing on "Design and Publishing" is KWV14ZVC)

*** Please note that this crash is only occuring on Win98; can't reproduce on NT
4. ***

I take that back. Talkback ID KWU23JYH using XPViewer on NT 4. ;)

This doesn't seem to crash anymore, but pressing the back button causes the
viewer to display a page claiming that imagemap coordinates were not sent.

Since there is no crash, I've removed the "stop-ship" tag.

I'm reassigning this one to you, tom, because it seems to be a double-event
dispatch. I've attached a simple test case (you will have to substitute in your
own images) that demonstrates the bug: because the image-map image is in an A
tag, we end up double link-triggering when we click on one of the map spots.

The result in the viewer is that we go to the A tag's location first and then we
go to the image maps location second. So for a momemnt the display looks right;
but as soon as you hit the back button the double trip is exposed.

[Using the 1.27.99 builds, Viewer will now take the user to the apple/macosx page
upon pressing the "Back" button, rather than returning the user to the
www.apple.com page.

Communicator 4.5 RTM, of course, returns the user directly to www.apple.com]

Setting all current Open Critical and Major to M3

Comment 7

[rickg]

Not a priority, as viewer is going away; but the underlying issue needs to be
fixed.

[The 4.13.99 M4 candidate on Mac OS, Linux and Win32 (using Apprunner) do not
display any user-evident manifestation of this bug, should it still be present.

Specifically, one can press the "Back" button without crashing or any errors, in
the scenario described in the bug report.]

Yeah, I've been putting this one off because it hasn't reproduced for me
either.  If no one else is seeing it either I'm marking it fixed.

[Eli Goldberg]

Thanks. (I'll check this more thoroughly today or on Monday, and then mark as
Verified if appropriate.)

Comment 11

[Eli Goldberg]

Sure. Verifying as fixed. (Can't reproduce on the 4.16.99 optimized builds on
either Mac OS, Linux, or Win NT 4.0 SP3.)
