User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030430 Camino/0.7+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030430 Camino/0.7+

Using the latest nightly builds of Camino (currently using 4/30) when clicking
on a tv listing at www.tvguide.com the pop-up window which up until recently
displayed the show description is now just a blank window.  I checked using IE
to confirm that the pop-ups are still working and they do.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Goto www.tvguide.com/listings/
2.  Enter your info for your local area.
3.  Click on any tv show title.  A pop-up will have Untitled as title, and
listing will never fill in.



Expected Results:  
Should have shown tv listing description.

WorksForMe using Camino/2003-04-25-05.

Attachment: pref.js from Camino profile

with this pref.js file in place, tvguide.com popups are just blank windows.

Comment 3

[Scott Cavendish]

When I trash the above pref.js, Camino opens the pop-ups as it should.  Perhaps
the pref file got corrupted.

Try disabling the pipelining and capability settings one at a time to determine
if one of them is causing it.

Comment 5

[Scott Cavendish]

I could disable the pipelining, but it had no effect.  I reenabled it and tried
commenting out the compatability lines.  I would try it and it would continue
with the behavior, but when I went back into pref.js to try the next, I noticed
that Camino had removed the comment ; from the fiel.  So I started deleting the
lines one at a time.  Deleting the following fixed the problem:

user_pref("capability.policy.default.Window.focus", "noAccess");

The autocreated pref.js from Camino after removing the problem pref.js does not
include these compatabilty lines, and I did not add them.  However, you were
right, one of them caused the problem.

Here's my take.

Any listing that's "Paid Programming" appears as blank (I think that's because
there isn't any info for that program.

After clicking a "Paid Programming" then trying any other listing they all come
up blank. If you goto another site then come back to tvguide.com the info
appears as expected (assuming you don't click a "Paid Programming" link).

Anyone able to reproduce that? With or without any preferance changes.

Comment 7

[Scott Cavendish]

Yes, "Paid Programming" items do come up blank, but then others don't.  I don't
have to leave and come back.  I think the compatablility pref is the culprit.

this looks like a dupe of bug 166797 on the mozilla side, BUT i think this prefs
line is included in my prefs.js and I don't think i've screwed with it (i use
user.js for my changes) it might be worth getting to the bottom of this problem

Comment 9

[Chris Casciano]

This is not a problem for me with Camino 2003061704 & a clean profile w/o prefs
changed or with popup blocking enabled via the prefs window (no whitelisted sites)

Does anyone have a problem still when using a clean profile? If not I'm going to
WFM this

-> WFM based on lack of objections
