309463 - Password dialog appears before page is shown

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Passwords & Permissions, defect)

Description

[Wolfram Rittmeyer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050910 SeaMonkey/1.0a

In Seamnokey 1.0a the password dialog appears _before_ the page is shown. This
is in my opinion annoying. Previously the dialog was shown only after the page
was loaded completely (no matter whether the form fields were visible or not).
Now one still sees the last page, though obviously the new one must already have
been loaded.

I would prefer the following behaviour: Start rendering and concurrently open
dialog to select password but _not_  before the form fields are visible.
Continue loading other media like images etc. in the background.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load a page.
2. Change to a login page for which you have stored passwords.

Actual Results:  
The dialog to select the password is shown _prior_ to the page itself.

Expected Results:  
The dialog to select the password should be shown only after the page itself has
been rendered (at least up to the form entry fields for the passwords).

This seems only reproducible with SeaMonkey 1.0a and Mozilla 1.8b2/20050225 when
I visit a login page for the second time during the same session, this bug is
WFM with Mozilla 1.8b2/20050224 and Mozilla 1.8b1.

So is this an issue on trunk?

MozillaAS v1.7.x is not supported anymore.

Can you reproduce with SeaMonkey v1.1.9 ?
If yes, please give an actual example page, so someone can try and reproduce.

Reopen if you can reproduce with SeaMonkey v1.1.9.
