171244 - change document's or window's location.hash or location cause trouble

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Frank Zhang]

An anchor is set up one page and the page is supposed to be scrolled to this 
position when the document's location.hash is changed. Seems this is not true 
sometimes:
Page B has an anchor, and the location.hash will be set to this anchor on load 
event.
Page A contains the link to Page B
What happened is: when the linke in PageA is clicked, page B is loaed at first, 
when a request as http://.../pageA#anchor is sent to server, since there isn't 
such page, the page B is broken.

Frank:
Could you please test to see if the problem still exists in a current Mozilla build?
If it is still present then please, create a reduced test case and attach it to
this bug report or upload it to a server and add here the url of the testcase.

No response, no testcase, unable to reproduce in recent builds.  Marking
worksforme, but please reopen if this is still a problem.
