234209 - Can I get Mozilla to load in an entire page before it displays

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Maurice Jeter]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

Mozilla seems to display parts of a long web page while the page is actually
loading.  While this is not necessarily a problem, is there a way to change this
behavior so that the page is fully rendered before it is displayed?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit a page with a large form or large amount of text
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
page starts to display while still being loaded

May I ask why you suggest a rendering scheme that would likely ruin the user
experience so completely?

This sort of user-level "how do I" question doesn't really belong in a bug
report; it belongs in a newsgroup or forum...

In any case, see
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/content/html/document/src/nsHTMLContentSink.cpp#2206
-- setting the "content.interrupt.parsing" pref to false will prevent parsing
interruption.
