185541 - Javascript-based menus stop responding

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021207 Phoenix/0.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021207 Phoenix/0.5

The javascript menus at http://www.palmsource.com/developers/
sometimes stop responding, and not because Phoenix is trying to load the page.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:

1) At http://www.palmsource.com/developers/ hover the mouse over "Documentation"
on the right.  
2) In the menu that unfolds, click on "Palm OS 5 Development".
3) Intermittently, this will stop the menus from responding, even when Phoenix
isn't trying to load the page.  When Phoenix *is* trying to load the page, the
progress bar can be seen in the lower right.  So when this problem occurs, there
is *no* progress bar, and the menus are dead.  

4) As I said, the problem is intermittent, so if it works properly, hit Back and
try again.  I seemed to be able to get it to happen more reliably if I clicked
outside the text label, but still within the menu square (ie. when the mouse
changes from an insertion point to an arrow).

5) When the problem shows, a Reload causes the menus to start working again.

I couldn't reproduce this at all, also using Phoenix 0.5 on my debian sid
system. I tried about 30 times, clicking on various parts of the menu item.

I (the originator) am unable to reproduce this in the Windows version of Phoenix
0.5....
Maybe some info about my Linux system is in order.  Its a RH7.1 system on an
Athlon Thunderbird (1GHz) processor.
