328190 - javascript falsely reports "a script on this page may be busy or not responding..."

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 78089

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[pst]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060221 SeaMonkey/1.5a

the javascript application in the form on the given url repeatedely calculates output written to the form textarea.

long script runs report the "a script on this page may be busy or not responding..." dialog which does not make sense in that context, as the script has not yet finished it's execution. a click on "continue" finishes the execution as expected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. enter "sii(s(kf)(sii))" in the upper input field on the page
2. enter "300" in the lower right input field (iterations:)
3. click the "reduce" link to start execution

Actual Results:  
the described dialog appears which is not what the user wants to see, as output written to the textarea informs him that the script is running.

Expected Results:  
the user should:

- not be shown the dialog box where scripts write output to the window (as the user is then aware that the script is busy, and probably acknowledging this)

or

- the warning message should emphasise more that the script execution may very well be valid
