281852 - hang on "file not found" from Flash

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, defect)

Description

[abc12316]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050209
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050209

The browser hangs when attempting to download a file that supposedly does not
exist in a Flash page. (Note: I have no idea why I can't choose File Handling
component when filing the bug.)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the page: http://www.sadeem.net/tux.html
2. Click "Linux version" tab in the top of the Flash page.
3. Click "trance dance" icon that appeared in the center area.

Actual Results:  
The browser's title changed to "404 Not Found" and the application hung, i.e.
window was not redrawn and it did not accept any keyboard/mouse input.

Expected Results:  
The application should remain responsive and only show message box with
information about the failed download.

Today Mozilla correctly shows a 404 page without hanging... magic. But a few
days later it did hang.
