When I click in the URL bar now, I get a disk hit. I have no idea why, but I wonder if it could be similar to bug 14486. kipp, could you do a quick purify check to make sure that we're not trying to render garbage text?
Ask troy. My primary machine is a linux box...
troy?

This looks like the XIF debug output, which is getting written on Mac now. Reassign to akkana to turn it off.

I turned it off on Friday. This disk hit should no longer happen unless you explicitly change the code to define DEBUG_XIF.

With the Nov 16th Mac build, this problem appears to be fixed.

Summary: Clicking in the url bar causes a disk hit → Clicking in text entry lines (& the URL bar) causes a disk hit
This bug is yet manifest upon the MICROSOFT WINDOWS 98 platform, where the pixel-regeneration effects visible upon clicking the bar are as slow and detailed as an aurora borealis. At the cited URL, a pair of single-line text entry fields (on the left sidebar) also exhibit this flaw.
I don't understand the comment. You seem to be saying that there are slow or strange redraw behaviors when clicking on a text field. You don't say anything about a disk hit. Please explain why you think the disk is being hit, or else file a new bug since the symptoms you describe sound like a completely different problem from this bug.

Closing again. I think you were seeing another bug.

The 2000010508 build no longer troubles the disk to spin, but the strange, somewhat slow repaint behavior yet occurs when clicking the URL bar - on the user's first instance of doing so, but not upon later clicks. akkana@netscape.com - doubtless your console is considerably faster and better-endowed than my own. Text fields within, par exemple, this Bugzilla report behave TRULY strangely when clicked upon - but that is likely a seperate flaw.

Then you should file a new bug on the paint behavior. This bug is on disk hits. See the summary line.
