Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

Note: This only happens on my Windows 2000 dual Athlon XP 1400+ machine, my
laptop with the same version does not exhibit this behavior.

Since about version 1.1 (I think :) the timing on animated GIFs and HTTP
redirects in <meta> tags has been greatly accelerated. Animated GIFs will cycle
through thier frames as fast as my machine will render the frames (which on this
thing is pretty darn fast), and HTTP redirects in <meta> tags will kick in a
soon as the page is fully loaded and rendered. The strange thing about the GIFs
is that the accelerated frame rate seems to be aggravated by mouse movement.
Note that this also applies to the spinner.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. No Steps, happens at all times

Actual Results:  
Act like a crack monkey :)

Expected Results:  
Taken some ritalin. :)

Adam, are you still seeing this behaviour with Mozilla 1.3?
