163609 - All Navigator Tabs shows the JavaScript function window.status from one.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 104532

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Thomas Bludau]

If i start the Site http://www.sprachtaeter.de/auswahl.html there is an
javascript programm that uses the javascript funktion windows.status . When i
open a new Navigator Tab and using this i can see the values of the
windows.stauts Function in the other tab. I thinks that this isn't intended.

Just searching in Tabbed browser for "status" gives this result:
104532   min   NEW     Status bar ticker fails to update when tabs switched.

Verified Duplicate.

Thomas, thank you for this report. You have been cc'ed on the 
duplicate bug so you can follow its progress.

Alfonso is referring to Bugzilla's query tool at 
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi. If possible, you can
search for bugs that have already been filed to avoid filing
a duplicate.

In this case, Alfonso used the tool with these parameters:

            Summary = (contains) "status"
            Product = Browser
            Component = Tabbed Browser

That's how he found bug 104532 -
