310690 - window and status bar won't stop flashing after displaying a notification dialog

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[aditsu]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20051001 SeaMonkey/1.1a
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20051001 SeaMonkey/1.1a

When I get a notification from the browser (such as: "Security Warning, You are
about to leave an encrypted page ..."), the window title and status bar start
flashing. That's ok, except that in this build they won't stop, but just keep
flashing forever. Very annoying.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. I first experienced this when logging on to yahoo mail, but it can probably
be reproduced in different ways.
So, first I went to https://login.yahoo.com/config/login?.src=ym for secure login
2. I entered my user name and password
3. After the login, the website redirected me to the (non-ssl) inbox. That's
when the browser warned me (as expected) that I was going to a non-encrypted page.

Actual Results:  
The window and status bar kept flashing. They're still flashing right now as I
am typing.

Expected Results:  
Flash maybe 3 times then stop.

Hm, it doesn't seem to be always reproducible. I'm investigating it more.

Comment 2

Hm, I can't reproduce it now. But it actually happened.
I guess you can close it, unless you have another suggestion.

I saw this too with SeaMonkey 1.0a but also didn't find a way to reproduce it.
The only way to work around that was to quit SeaMonkey and open it again.

Resolving worksforme - Yahoo mail certainly works on 1.1.9, and can't replicate this elsewhere. Please see if you experience this issue with a newer release. Thanks.
