159428 - Crash when opening a link in a new tab and then clicking on it while it loads in that tab

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 152429

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Aleksander Adamowski]

Reproducible: sometimes
Configuration: Mandrake Linux 8.2, KDE 2.2.2, Mozilla trunk 2002072421

Steps to reproduce:
1. Configure the browser to open links in new tabs when CTRL-clicking on them,
and to load those links in the background.
2. Open the URL
3. Locate a link that reads "Hardware" in the bar at the top of the page and
CTRL-click on it.
4. While the new tab loads the page, left-click on the same link.

Sometimes Mozilla will crash.

Talkback report TB8672372K.

Adding crash keyword.

Comment 3

[Aleksander Adamowski]

I'm able to reliably reproduce it with today's build, 2002072608.
Talkback TB8702016E.

However, to reproduce the crash, you'll probably need to mess around with
massively CTRL-clicking and single clicking links in that top bar, not only once.

I'm also experiencing "hard" crashes that don't trigger talkback on this site.
They usually occur upon clicking a link.
Maybe it's caused by the CSS rul for active links? In the stylesheet for this
page, it's:

A:active {
	COLOR: #33ff33; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; FONT-SIZE:
9px; FONT-WEIGHT: normal; LIST-STYLE: url(pics/li.gif) inside; TEXT-DECORATION: none
}

I'm seeing bug 152429 (flash in an iframe) here, but that shouldn't trigger
talkback...
that bug was just fixed, so you might wait a for new linux nightly build with
the fix to come out (probably 2002072621) and see if it helps anyway.

Comment 6

[Aleksander Adamowski]

Yes, 2002072621 seems fixed to me. I couldn't reproduce the crash anymore.
Marking dupe.

Still, would be good to finally see that stacktrace from talkback - bug 152429
caused Mozilla to exit cleanly, that's what I saw somtimes on that page, but got
3 crashes with talkback also...
