185518 - (Broken) Image Needs 'Reload' / 'Retry' Option In Context Menu

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 47475

(SeaMonkey :: General, enhancement)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212

Pretty simple request. When a page loads and one or more images fail to load I
would like a way to attempt to reload the image without reloading the whole page
or selecting view image which opens the image in the current window. It would
also be useful when an image loads okay, for images that change over time, or if
it has been cached and you want to check it is the latest version. I think this
mostly applies to web developers.

I did do a bug search and found nothing on this issue but my appologies if it is
a duplicate.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load a page with a broken image
2. Right click on image

Actual Results:  
No option to reload / retry

Expected Results:  
Given option to reload / retry image

why did you do that? I have editbug privilege, but I want posters to
get into habits of tracking their own bugs.

Reporter, if you agree w/ the resolution, please change status to

Make this < 1% then. I do not agree it is a duplicate of that bug, which I have
already read. If you could group them, or attatch this to the other I would
agree that they are similar and that the solutions can be the same, but marking
as a duplicate would probably lead to this one being ignored.

If you insist on doing things this way.

'Tis often better when a single patch will provide solutions to multiple
problems to have only one bug to match the patch. One need not be the reporter
to add a comment to a bug. You could even vote for bugs you consider important.
Note also that, unlike this, that bug is multiplatform/multiOS.

The other bug doesn't mention it should apply to broken images as well as
showing blocked images and reloading images. And I do notice that the other bug
has been outstanding for over 2 years. Hopefully this bug will show up in
searches similar to what I did and will provide a link to the other one.

Comments about other bugs are pointlessly moot here. If you think there's
something wrong with the open bug, comment there.
