180391 - Hang when the javascript command window.print(); is issued - random times

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: Printing: Output, defect)

Description

[Alex James]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)
Build Identifier: Mozilla 1.1 (final release) MAC 8.6 G3 PowerBook

When running a javascript 'print' command, the browser will lockup (seen only 
on the mac platform - verified on multiple different machines).
The following code is the javascript command:

<SCRIPT> 
function pageFunction() 
{
if (document.printRequest.control_print.value == "1")
   window.print();
if (document.printRequest.control_nextl.value != "")
   startClock();
}
		
var x = 5;
var y = 1;
function startClock()
{
   x = x-y;
   setTimeout("startClock()", 1000);
   if (x == 0)
   {
      location = document.printRequest.control_nextl.value;
      return;
   }
}
</SCRIPT>

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
This page is gone to via a forwarding, and the script above runs.  Sometimes 
mozilla will lockup (on the mac 8.6), and if it does, a number of sequential 
crashes will follow.
Actual Results:  
Mozilla lockup - hard crash (of Mozilla)

Expected Results:  
The page will print the expected window, then will be forwarded to a new page 5 
seconds later.

I'll try and get the stack trace on monday

Alex, it sounds like you're describing a hang, rather than a crash.
