160257 - Freezes on page with lots of applets

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Java: OJI, defect)

Description

[Matthew Cline]

Mozilla 2002073008, Linux 2.4.17 i686, JVM 1.3.1_02, glibc 2.2.5-34,
XFree86 4.2.0, KDE 3.0.0

The whole browser freezes on this page, but not with 100% certainty.  If
it doesn't freeze immediately, go to one of the sub-pages, then back up,
then forward, and so forth, but not real fast; it will still happen if you
let each page finish loading.

Reporter, could you try it with JRE 1.4.1fc (vailable at java.sun.com/j2se)?

Comment 2

[Matthew Cline]

OK, the steps to reproduce were wrong (or changed from 2002073008 to
2002092010): click on one of the first two links on the page, then back up
as the applets on the next page are still loading; that causes a lockup.

Upgrading to JRE 1.4.1fc seems to fix the problem, but that might just be
because the way that it messes with page loading prevents me from getting the
proper timing (page loading seems to take longer, and the links and other
non-applet content doesn't appear until all the applets are done initializing).
