165922 - context mismatch with framesites in deactivated tabs + weird popup behaviour

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Peter Asemann]

Okay...

Open multiple tabs in your browser - enter http://www.kingchess.de in one tab,
press return, and change to another tab at once.

In opposite to other browser Mozilla will now open two popup-windows (even if
popups are disabled) instead of showing the pages in the frames they ought to be
load into.

There are two window.open commands

<script language="JavaScript"
type="text/javascript">window.open("/welcomeinfo.asp", "leiste")</script>
<script language="JavaScript"
type="text/javascript">window.open("/copyright.asp", "rbottom")</script>

in the source that normally fill the frames with the names "leiste" and
"rbottom" with the pages given.

If the tab context is changed before these commands are executed, the frame
names seem not to be known to Mozilla anymore, and Mozilla opens two pop-ups
even if pop-ups are disabled. It seems like the JavaScript implementation
doesn't switch tab context like it should, maybe it always takes the context of
the active window/tab for frame/window related command execution?

I selected major severity because this *might* cause a lot of trouble in
countless cases if the JS implementation really has that bug. Plus, something
might be wrong with the pop-up blocker, too.
