158429 - Unable to scroll in one tab when loading in another

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Robert Mohr]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.1a) Gecko/20020611
BuildID:    2002061104

If one tab is loading a page, none of the other tabs are responsive to any of my
input.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use dialup connection
2. Open a tab
3. Wait for it to load
4. Open another tab (w/ a site that will take awhile to dl)
5. Select first tab and try to scroll with the wheel, fill in forms, etc.

Actual Results:  Moz was simply unresponsive, and occasionally thought I was
hitting Ctrl+Wheel or Alt+Wheel after moving the wheel in an unresponsive tab.

Expected Results:  Allowed me to view one page and load the other page just a
little slower.

Only an issue w/ dialup access.

resolving as dup of bug 76495

This is not a duplicate of 76495.  76495 deals with what happens when you click
a link to in the same tab and everything disappears immediately after the link
is clicked.  This deals with one tab not responding to input from me while
another tab is loading.

Robert: at first look, yes, you are correct.. But bug 76495 is about everything
not working when mozilla is connecting to some site, so it's infact a dupe.
