229510 - Can't open another window by clicking link until a page is fully loaded

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 101190

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031226 Firebird/0.7+

You can't navigate "target = _blank" link to open another window, until a page
is fully loaded (or timeout). When images on a page is in loading, clicking a
link does nothing, though spawning window is expected. I had also seen this for
window-spawning by JavaScript, which doesn't work by clicking link if page is
partially loaded. If all related statement is not loaded you can't evaluate what
it means (like <a href="aaa.html" target = _bla), but if related statement is
fully received it'll be sufficient to evaluate on user click even though loading
is underway.

Reproducible: Always
