22716 - navigation failure

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Paul Breitzmann]

To duplicate bug select "DHTML" from "debug menu" -> "viewer demos"

The browser will not refresh to any further URLs, whether through the history
navigation icons, or manual entry.  If enough locations are entered, the browser
will crash.

This might be a DUPLICATE of bug 19388, "[perf] DHTML test is vicious / starved
UI&net", ASSIGNED -- But the last sentence seems to be its own issue. I'm
guessing that a crash may occur anytime that multiple requests are made for
pages from the same browser window while none of them get processed, regardless
of why that happens.

I was unable to get a crash; testing on an older machine, the CPU usage went
to and stayed at 99%+, and the UI became totally unresponsive before I could
enter a third URL.

Tested with: 1999-12-27-08-M13 nightly binary on Windows NT 4.0sp3.

[e-mail] : Just to clarify, which build are you running?
Was it one of the self-installing executables (with a filename like
mozilla-win32-installer-M12.exe or mozilla-win32-installer.exe).

[e-mail] : the self-installing .exe do not have the ./res/samples
files, which are the viewer demos -- so (if that is what
[e-mail] has) then moz will just sit and spin when you
follow those menu items.

However, all that said, I removed this ./res/samples directory and tried to
DUPL the crash with 2000010308 Win95 but could not.

No follow-up received to John & Sean's investatigations after 3 weeks; resolving 
as WORKSFORME.

[e-mail], please re-open if you're still seeing this on 
M13.
