256391 - silmultaneous javascript access at the status bar by all the tabbed pages

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 104532

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Philippe Miossec]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; fr; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; fr; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2

When several pages are opened in different tabs and access with javascript at
the status bar, status bar text is unreadable : all the texts are written in the
same time and effect is blinking.
I think that the only page (tab) which must have access to the status bar is the
currently displayed page (tab).
Perhaps, each tab must have his own "virtual" status bar and when the tab is
active, this "virtual" status bar is displayed.

PS: This bug is more easily visible with constant access by javascipt but
actualy the status bar is common to all the tabs and the status bar display the
last text written and not the last text written for each tab.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Careful! : The "change status bar text by javascript" options must be enabled
1.Open http://www.malepregnancy.com/
2.Open http://www.pseudo-medecines.org/articles.php?lng=fr&pg=9
3.Look in the status bar

Actual Results:  
All the texts in the status bar are displayed in the same time

Expected Results:  
Only the status bar text of the active tab must be displayed.
