Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Richard Briscoe]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030329
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030329

At some point while clicking on messages in the forums, the beach ball will spin
endlessly and I have to force quit Mozilla.  It does not always seem to occur at
the same point, does occur repeatedly and so I have gone to the site in IE
(which I have previously used on the site without problem) or Camino (2/29/03
build) which seems to handle it OK.

On another note, I had a crash with 1.4a (2/29/03 build) and it generated a
report in Talkback.  Unfortunately there seems to be a problem in Talkback as it
is unable to successfully connect and keeps on trying and trying.  

Also, the scrolling headline on the BBC News sit <http://news.bbc.co.uk/> will
appear in the tab browsing window of another web site.  If you scroll down the
page of the other web site it will reproduce itself and cover a large portion of
the other page.

Thanks

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Nothing special or unusual, just clicking through the forum messages.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
I expected the message I clicked on to open.  Instead the spinning beach ball
appeared and Mozilla was "locked up" or "frozen".

The crash occurred on startup.  I am sorry that I have yet to figure out how to
copy the crash report.  I have looked in the menus and it simply is not apparent
to me at this time.  If there is a way to do so you can contact me at
[e-mail].

Thanks!

Richard: please see the bug-reporting guidelines at

as this one are useless because they are three different problems, which makes
it impossible to triage this bug to the correct person who might fix it.
