168379 - Command-period doesn't stop during a page-forward

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[S Woodside]

I have a little script on my computer that you can get at
http://www.majcher.com/nytview.html ... I use a form in my custom homepage to do
something like
localhost/nytview.html?http://www.nytimes.com/2002/09/12/technology/12MAIL.html&submit
and when I load that URL, it forwards me to the nytimes page with the story.

if I type Cmd-Period during the brief time I'm on the nytview.html page on my
own machine, it does nothing. It should stop me from getting forwarded.

[Greg K.]

Simon, what build ID are you reporting this bug against?

Comment 2

[S Woodside]

2002091205. no regression testing done.

Comment 3

[Matt Carrell]

Works fine here, unable to reproduce the bug on release 0.6.

Comment 4

[Greg K.]

Simon, can you still reproduce this problem using a recent nightly build?

Comment 5

[S Woodside]

With 0.6, yes, I can still reproduce using the given test case in comment #1.

Comment 6

[Greg K.]

Does this also happen using Mozilla? Are you pressing command+. before the
browser sends the redirect request, or while it's actually redirecting?

Comment 7

[S Woodside]

Yeah, I also get this in Moz 1.2b. I think the redirection is being done by
javascript. I attached the html. I'm hitting Cmd-. as soon as the page appears,
but probably ? after the redirect, but long before the NYT page appears.

Attachment: A little html/java combo that demonstrates the bug if you send it params in the request

This is probably not a Chimera bug if you can reproduce it in Mozilla.

over to browser.

What is a "page-forward"? Is it a meta-refresh header, or a server redirect?
JS Engine is not the right place for this.

It seems that, if you add "&submit" to the URL, the NYT form is immediately
submitted (document.faker.submit();) when the page is fully loaded (onLoad =
"loaded()"). The unstoppable "page-forward" is probably this form submission?

Mozilla 1.x is long dead and gone. If you still see this issue please file a *NEW* bug in the relevant product (Firefox, SeaMonkey, Thunderbird)
