258717 - browser window blocked when clicked before page loads

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 101190

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Matej Barac]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3

A browser window is blocked if it's designed to open in a new window (popup)
when clicked if the page isn't loaded 100%. Mozilla identifies the window as
popup and blocks it, but the popup opens fine when the page is fully loaded.
This happens everytime and is really annoying for example if you click lots of
thumbnails of which full images appear in a new window and the page has not yet
completely loaded. 

NOTE #1: This happens with and without a javascripted popup, while you can open
the new window (while loading) in a seperate tab this isn't the case with
javascript.

NOTE #2: This happens also if the page hasn't yet loaded 100% and you stop the
loading. You _must_ wait for the page to load 100% to not experience this.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on any thumbnail/url which is set to open in a new window.
2. Have popup blocker enabled.
3. Happens with HTML's _new and javascript.

Actual Results:  
The new window which you clicked is blocked by the popup blocker and display's
the popup icon at the bottom. You can then access the page is you put it in the
exeptions list of the popup blocker.

Expected Results:  
The new window _SHOULD_ open (while loading) HTML or javascript because the user
clicked it and expects a reaction from it.

This is already fixed for trunk and aviary.
