222852 - Mozilla stops net connections and remains in memory on exit

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Eghost]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007

Sometimes (not always, but quite often) Mozilla stops internet 
connections. If this happens, It can be closed as usual
(if multiple tabs are present, it asks about whenether I want
to close them all, as usual). But it remains in memory!
Task Manager doesn't show mozilla among tasks, only among
processes.  If I start Mozilla without removing it first,
the problem persists (no response from internet).

"No response from internet" in this case means that mozilla responses 
to user actions (like creating new tab, opening menu|preferences),
but no actual data transfer is done (local area status in taskbar
doesn't blink)

About reproducibility:
Well, it's hard to say anything specific there.
Seems to affect 1.5RC2 and 1.5 (20031007) only.

At least I didn't notice such behaviour on 1.4.1

Seems to be independent from websites (can appear on
any website [?]). Seems to be independent from tabs (remember
a couple of times when I opened only one window and
one tab in it).

Well, the problem can be because of my system|hardware|drivers
(I recently reinstalled my os, it seems to work as usual though)




Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Mozilla stops internet connections, then remains in memory.

Expected Results:  
Doesn't stop internet communication.

I use http proxy from LAN. But MSIE and Mozilla1.4.1 seems to be unaffected
by this problem.

WFM on WinXP trunk 2003102804.

There are soem bugs that cause this, but this bug isn't nearly descriptive
enough to help find any specific cause. Resolving as Invalid.

Reporter: This is not a negative comment about you, just try to find a little
mroe information next time. next time it happens, see what you were doing at
that moment, and try it again. Thanks!
