157997 - Mozilla stops responding with high CPU utilisation part way through downloads

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, defect)

Description

[Malcolm Ferguson]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1a) Gecko/20020611
BuildID:    2002061104

About 50% of my downloads fail.  I've noticed this since I upgraded to Mozilla
1.1 Alpha with it's download manager.  Part of the way through a download,
Mozilla will often stop responding (i.e. won't redraw any windows), and task
manager indicates that it is using 50% CPU.  Note: this is a dual CPU machine,
so that means it's using 100% of one CPU.  I don't know how to reproduce this
consistently, unfortunately.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a download
2. Carry on using the computer, but not necessarily Mozilla
3. Wait and see :(

I am using Mozilla 2002071308 and it WFM fine. Why dont you try the latest
build. Just a thought.

Hmmmm.  Seeing as it's 17th July, perhaps I should wait until 1.1 Beta comes
out, and then see if it still happens.

Reporter : is the bug still appearing ?

If not, please close this bug.

Thanks a lot.

As requested, I'm trying to close this bug as I can no longer reproduce it with
the newer build.

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

mass-verifying WorksForMe bugs.

reopen only if this bug is still a problem with a *recent trunk build*.
