192362 - Opening LOTS of images in tabs causes browse to stop redrawing properly

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 184933

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Chris Thomas (CTho) [formerly [e-mail] [e-mail]]]

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

If you open up a LOT of pictures in new tabs (not necessarily all at once),
eventually the window stops redrawing itself properly.  If you switch tabs, the
page doesn't appear to change, until either you scroll, or move another window
around on top of mozilla (presumably so it forces a repaint).  It requires a LOT
of pictures.  Sometimes it seems if you close all the tabs except a "normal"
page, the browser starts behaving properly again.

I would provide a screenshot, but when I try to use printscreen and paste the
image somewhere, I get an error.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open up a bunch of pictures in tabs
2. Look at them, close most or all
3. Repeat

Actual Results:  
The browser stops behaving normally.

Expected Results:  
Act normal.

I verified this on a friend's computer (also XP, not sure of his mozilla version)

Also happens in moz 1.0.2.

It seems that the browser does not in fact always return to normal behavior
after closing all other tabs.

You write "when I try to use printscreen and paste the
image somewhere, I get an error."

Do you mean you get an error message? What does it say?
