Hello!

Using Mozilla 1.7 (happens with all other Mozilla versions, too), I cannot
access links if a page is still loading or if a page loading has been stopped
(by pressing the stop button). Clicking the left mouse button results in nothing.

Regards,
Sebastian Mares

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Open a page containing some links and while the page is still loading, click on
a link (left mouse button).
Actual Results:  
Nothing happens.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should open the linked page.

Does it happen on all the links in any page? Can you provide a specific page
where you see this?

See also bug 101190 for a similar problem.

I just noticed that the links aren't HREFs, but JavaScripts which open links.
Examples would be the video card image on
http://www.chip.de/artikel/c_artikel_12104625.html (German) or the Intel Manager
Game http://www.intel.com/corporate/europe/emea/eng/itgame/itgame.htm (the "Play
the game" link).

PS: I assume that means that 101190 is my problem.
