275696 - Strange cache behaviour in 1.8.a5

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Uwe Klosa]

Since I have installed Mozilla 1.8a5 are there some strange behaviours on my
system regarding caching of files. These strange behaviours disappear when I
restart Mozilla. I have Mozilla installed on Windows XP SP2.

1. Sometimes webpages are taken from the cache even if I do a refresh of this
page. The setting in the cache is: Compare page every time I view the page.

2. Applets are not updated even if i clear the whole cache in Mozilla and Java
(Sun SDK 1.4.2).

3. The third thing is that files which are stored in network folders are also
cached. Even if I do not open them with Mozilla. If someone updated a file in a
network folder, I cannot get this new version before I close Mozilla. It sounds
strange, but that is that I found out after weeks of observing and testing. Has
someone else had this problem.

All these errors are hard to reproduce, but there might be another one who have
seen these problems.
