25077 - Page does not fully load on the first try (charset dectector problem?)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 22203

(Core :: Internationalization, defect, P3)

Description

[Robert O'Callahan (:roc) (email my personal email if necessary)]

At many sites, such as www.mozillazine.org, every time I load the page for the
first time, it does not fully load. Typically a couple of image frames appear
and that's all (the images themselves do not load). After this, if I cause the
page to be repainted by covering and exposing it, no repaint occurs.

I tested this with build 2000012516, although the bug seems to have existed for
quite some time. After typing "www.mozillazine.org" into the location bar, the
relevant output in the command window is this:

FindShortcut: in='http://www.mozillazine.org'  out='null'
It's NOT UTF-16LE- byte 23(17)
It's NOT UTF-16BE- byte 92(5c)
It's NOT UTF-8- byte 1188(4a4)
It's NOT ISO-2022-CN- byte 1188(4a4)
It's NOT HZ-GB-2312- byte 1188(4a4)
It's NOT GB2312- byte 1189(4a5)
It's NOT x-euc-tw- byte 1189(4a5)
It's NOT Big5- byte 1189(4a5)
It's windows-1252- byte 1189 (4a5) Test 8444. The only left
failed to set the page title.
Error loading URL http://www.mozillazine.org/
Document: Done (0.741 secs)
failed to set the page title.
Document http://www.mozillazine.org/ loaded successfully
Document: Done (6.319 secs)

If I hit "reload", the page seems to load fully and things work normally. The
command window output is:

Going to reload
failed to set the page title.
Document http://www.mozillazine.org/ loaded successfully
Document: Done (2.885 secs)

If I disable the charset detector (I was using "zhgm" (sp?)), everything works
as expected.

<speculation>When the charset detector identifies the charset of the document,
it tries to force a reload, but fails to do so properly.</speculation>

one thing we can do is to limited the byte we do auto detect. Or we can strip
out some charset detectors which do not function well.
