Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[J Emil Hunziker]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050314
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050314

Page loads correctly then hangs when scrolling over half way down. Sometimes
resolves after several minutes. Uses all available processor cycles during the hang.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load page
2. Drag scroll bar to page bottom (or use scroll wheel)
3.

Actual Results:  
Mac spinning pizza appears and application hangs. Other apps still work.

Expected Results:  
Not hang.

The problem replicates in Firefox and the 14 Mar nightly of Mozilla with a clean
profile. Problem was originally reported on OS X Discussion List.

The symptoms are similar to bug 240310 - but different.

Two other user observations:
1. "Firefox had no trouble or delays in opening that page for me. There was even
a scrolling list of "other local productions" on the left side of the page.
The same in Mozilla, HOWEVER, when I left the browser to use another app and
then returned, it was difficult or impossible to scroll the page in both
Firefox and Mozilla with getting the spinning ball."
2. "I'm not sure what you guys are seeing, but that page appears fine to
me on both the Mac and PC versions of Firefox 1.0.1 that I have
installed. I'm not getting any SPOD problems."

I will try to carve time to do that. Thanks for the pointer.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
