296897 - when closing tab, google ads in newly-displayed tabs show old tab's content

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Web Painting, defect)

Description

[Mike Shaver (:shaver emeritus)]

(Deer Park Alpha 1 on Tiger, I've seen it on other pre-DP builds as well.)

If I have two tabs, with the right-side tab showing a site with google ads (such
as http://photomatt.net/), and then I close the left-side tab, I will very often
see the google-ad rectangle filled with the content that was painted there on
the just-closed tab.

It seems to happen less frequently now that I have fastback turned on, but that
might not be an accurate perception.  I'll attach a screenshot.

Likely to be a Mac widget issue

I haven't managed to get that site to reproduce this bug yet, but I suspect it's
luck of the draw what kinds of Google ads you get.

Please see the last duped bug (bug 289766) for more details, a reproducible test
case, and the dates of the regression.

cheers

This bug has no decent, reproducible test case. However bug 289766 is now fixed
(try out the test case in that bug). Since that bug was duped to this one, I'm
assuming this one is an issue no more and marking it as WORKSFORME.

If anyone can reproduce it, please reopen, and I'll un-dupe bug 289766 and
resolve that one instead.
