279670 - Window.open launches multiple Windows with the same name.

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P5)

Description

[/\/\arcio Galli]

Will attach testcase, need help to reaply to the right component. 

Description: 
===========
Window.open("","pageIdName") creates multiple windows; It should create only one
window because there is a Window name specified. The problem happens if you
click very fast. For example use the attached Web page and click lots of time
over the link and you will see multiple Windows created. If you click multiple
times very slow, then works fine.

Same for Mozilla 1.8b trunk builds.

This is a duplicate.  The problem is that the second click happens before the
first window is open, and hence there is no window with that name yet....

You're probably thinking of bug 266324. Both are the same basic problem, but
your potential hackaround (bug 266324 comment 7) wouldn't help with the general
case outlined in this bug. I'm marking that bug dependent on this one to note
the relationship.

Move all DOM bugs that haven’t been updated in more than 3 years and has no one currently assigned to P5.
