User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021202 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021202 When I first load up this page, the browser displays it correctly i.e. when I click the links on the left-hand frame it loads the linked web pages into the main frame on the right-hand side. However, if I have had the browser up for some time, eventually when I return to this page then it loads the linked web pages into the whole window as if 'target="_top"' were included in the anchor tag. This will now continue to happen until I restart Mozilla. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open this link and click the links on the left hand side. 2. Keep the browser up for a while looking at other web pages i.e. do some other work. 3. Return to this link and click the links on the left hand side again. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 Actual Results: After returning a few times the browser will load the linked pages into the whole window instead of the frame. Expected Results: It should load the linked pages into the frame on the LHS every single time. This bug seems intermittent but as soon as it starts happening it won't stop. The workaround is to restart Mozilla.
WFM 1.3 Linux i686 Tried about half an hour, no way to reproduce. Try to upgrade.
I have upgraded now - the problem still occurs.
Another workaround is to open the page in a new tab. The frames work properly then too. -cjc
Hi. The same bug or a very similar one occurs here (Mozilla 1.4rc1 and current (17.06.) nightly build - windows). Steps to reproduce: 1. enter this url http://www.visual-imagination.de/wir.html 2. click on the blue link "hier" (this step seems to be necessary) 3. enter http://www.visual-imagination.de 4. click on the logo 5. click on "Wir ueber uns" 6. the page of step one should be seen as a frame on the right part of the page, but is displayed as a whole page Reproducable: always workarounds: as mentioned - restart the browser or open a new tab. if steps 1) and 2) are left out - everything works fine as expetected - the page from step 5) is shown correctly as a frame on the right part of the page.
made a few more tries to reproduce the bug and found out that step 2 of my bug-report opens the link "hier" in a new navigator window (I probably just didn't notice that before - but well, mozilla shouldn't do that I guess). anyway the bug remains the same...
This WORKSFORME. Note that some links in the left bar actually have another target set.
