Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: German, defect)

Description

[Björn Schreiber]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1

  Some pages, f.e. http://www.adobe.de, are allways reloading (with no end) when
I use the Windows XP theme called "Metallic Shades" (search for it at
http://www.themexp.org).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install and select the Windows XP theme "Metallic Shades"
2. install and run Firebird
3. go to http://www.adobe.de

Actual Results:  
The site is reloading all the time.

Expected Results:  
Only load this site once.

  I tried version 2.0 and 2.1 of the theme "Metallic Shades" on a Windows XP
Professional and a Windows XP Home, with Firebird 0.4, 0.5, 0.6 and 0.6.1 (this
one) without any extensions or plugins. The problem seems only to appear when
Java Script is turned on. 

  Mozilla 1.4 don't show this problem on the same system. The problem disappears
when I switch to the default Luna theme, too.

Björn, what kind of theme do you use for Moz.Firbeird?

Comment 2

[Björn Schreiber]

I use the standard theme which is selected after installing Mozilla Firebird.
The only thing I change in the GUI is turning off the "Lesezeichen-Symbolleiste"
(don't know the english name at the moment).

I've seen the same problem on: www.togethersoft.com

This is the faulty javascript code:

//*************************************************
// NS window resize bug
if (g_strBrowType == "net" || g_strBrowType == "ns6") {
        window.captureEvents(Event.Resize);
        window.onresize = reLoad;
        window.releaseEvents(Event.Resize);
}

origWidth = window.innerWidth;
origHeight = window.innerHeight;

function reLoad() {
        if (window.innerWidth != origWidth || window.innerHeight != origHeight)
                location.reload();
}
//****************************************************

And for www.adobe.de:

//""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
        function NCSSFix() {
          if (document.NeedsFix.NCSSFix.initWindowWidth != window.innerWidth ||
document.NeedsFix.NCSSFix.initWindowHeight != window.innerHeight) {
            document.location = document.location;
            }
          }

        function NCSSFixItNow() {
          if (parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4) {
            if (typeof document.NeedsFix == 'undefined'){
      document.NeedsFix = new Object;
    }
    if (typeof document.NeedsFix.scaleFont == 'undefined') {
      document.NeedsFix.NCSSFix = new Object;
      document.NeedsFix.NCSSFix.initWindowWidth = window.innerWidth;
      document.NeedsFix.NCSSFix.initWindowHeight = window.innerHeight;
    }
    window.onresize = NCSSFix;
  }
}

NCSSFixItNow()
//""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

These scripts correct the NS4 resize bug
(http://forums.devshed.com/archive/1/2002/10/3/45506).

The theme "Phoenity Neo" (and perhaps others) are also concerned by this problem...

Comment #3 would make this bug - besides many many other pages - a tech
evangelism issue! Will add another bug resolved WFM where we listed alot of
pages which don't distinguish between NS4 and Mozilla causing the pages to
reload endlessly.

The problem disappears installing version 2.11 of the Metallic Shades theme for
Windows XP.

So please resolve this bug as INVALID. I don't see any problems on this site
with Mozilla 1.7a/Firefox 0.8.
