272891 - Hanging when switching to a hidden tab via the » widget when the departing tab is loading

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Camino Graveyard :: Tabbed Browsing, defect)

Description

[Smokey Ardisson (offline for a while; not following bugs - do not email)]

Camino 2004120108 (v0.8+)

Reproducible: sometimes

I'm fairly often, when doing normal browsing, getting Camino to hang when
leaving a tab which is loading new content and trying to go to a "hidden" tab
via the » widget.  I see it a lot (perhaps always?) at phpBB fora like
MozillaZine.  

When browsing with the intent to reproduce, I've been unable to cause the hang
so far.  It's been happening for a while but only today did I cause it enough
times in a row doing the same thing that I could reasonably narrow the cause.

I'll attach a sample of Camino in this state, but please let me know if there
are other things I can/should do the next time I cause this while in normal
browsing.

can anyone else confirm this?

It may be gone now.  I haven't noticed it in some time (although mostly in my
normal browsing I try to avoid doing it so as not to have a hung Camino), and
when I did specifically try to repro it again the other day, I couldn't.

So might it be best simply to close this bug now and if I ever notice the
hanging again, I could reopen?

sure - reopen if this happens again
