From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020805 BuildID: 2002080508 After clicking on a hyper link, pressing the stop button has no effect - ie the link is followed - even though a significant amount of time elapses between the button press and the display of the new page. The stop button was significantly more responsive in netscape 4.X Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.follow a link on a page which will take a while to follow and load 2.press the stop button as quickly as you can 3. Actual Results: stop button has no effect Expected Results: link should not be followed
Max, can you provide an example URL?
> Max, can you provide an example URL? Well, any would do. You want a page which loads slowly enough that you get the opportunity to hit the stop button before anything visual has changed. This depends on too many things for me to advise on a specific web page. ...hmm... trying some examples, it isn't consistent. Sometimes 'stop' will leave the page as you see it, and sometimes it will change. I guess the problem is in some specific part of the code - perhaps it has already started downloaded some parts of the page and is building it in the background, but hasn't altered what is actually displayed yet, and pressing stop causes it to display what it's managed to get, which is sometimes just a blank white page. Sorry I can't be more specific... Max.
I have this happen too in a way. Close maybe the same bug? The tab to teamtrack - an intranet app - sometimes never stops loading. The little arrows that make the circle keep spinning and pressing the stop button has no effect. This happens quite frequently.

Max, can you still reproduce this problem using a current nightly build?
Summary: stop button doesn't work → Stop button doesn't work
I'm testing 2003021103 on OS X 10.2.3, and it looks like it works fine - ie the stop button has immediate effect.
