When opening a PDF document in a different tab, the browser hangs until the PDF
is loaded. It's not a CPU overload problem, because other applications respond
correctly. While the browser is processing the PDF, the window may disappear
from the task bar.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Just open a PDF in a new tab. Acrobat should be configured to opent the file
inside the browser.

Actual Results:  
Browser hangs until the file is loaded.

Expected Results:  
Only the loading tab should hang. All other tabs and menus should respond normally.

Using Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0.2
