242733 - A Java application is not always able to read a parameter correctly

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

The main page displays a Java application with real time forex information.
Clicking on one of the rates displays a real time graph of the chosen rate.

However a large percentage of the time the application is not able to read one
of its parameters and displays a message "Invalid Copyright Message" instead of
the graph.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Goto to www.netdania.com
2. Wait for the Java app to initialize
3. Click on one of the real time rates

Actual Results:  
A new Java application is displayed with the message "Invalid copyright parameter"

Expected Results:  
The new Java application should display a real-time graph

Sometimes it does work but rarely on my hardware/software.

Refreshing or going straight to the graph page,
http://www.netdania.com/ChartApplet.asp?symbol=EURUSD, does work.

The developer reports that this does work on IE, of course.

I am using Java 1.4.2_03. 

Sorry, I cannot tell if this should be classified as a Java problem.

Is this fixed now?, since bug 217715 was fixed.
Reporter, can you confirm that?

I just installed 0.9.2 and this does appear to be working now.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
