304086 - Sometimes a page will not stop loading and shows only a blank page.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 304003

(Camino Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Alexander Freeman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050809 Camino/0.9a2+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050809 Camino/0.9a2+

When visiting a page, the content window is blank and the progress indicator
says it's loading. This would be normal except that it doesn't stop on it's own
(tested to 5 min on DSL). Manually stopping the load reveals the page and it's
complete, indicating that it actually finished loading some time ago. 

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Load a new page.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
75% of the time, normal Camino behavior. 
25% of the time, Camino will not stop loading on it's own.

Expected Results:  
Page should stop loading on it's own after it's done.

This did not happen prior to Aug 9th nightly build.

new sequence:
1. Go to http://slashdot.org/
2. Then go to some other site.
3. Use back button to return to /.
this shows the bug ~50% of the time.

bfcache is broken. Could this be causing that?

Comment 3

[Chris Lawson (gone)]

This sounds exactly like the bfcache bug 304003 that was just fixed. Try with a
nightly from 10 August and see if the problem persists.
