333284 - Status bar pop-up notification disappears on dynamic pages

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Camino Graveyard :: Annoyance Blocking, defect)

Description

[Samuel Sidler (old account; do not CC)]

STR:
1. Turn on pop-up blocking
2. Surf to cnn.com
3. Look at the status bar
4. Wait... wait... wait...

Results:
The pop-up block icon in the status bar disappears after a while due to an ad doing a dynamic refresh (I think).

Expected Results:
We really shouldn't ever take the icon away unless the full page loads. I'm not sure if this is fixable because of how dynamic loading works and such, but ideally this icon should remain at least until the menu is opened and an action is performed.

This bug is currently only relevant to Camino 1.0, so we may not want to fix it. However, if we choose to re-add the ability to put the pop-up notification in the status bar, this should be fixed.

It really should remain until the user either takes action from the pop-up blocker menu or navigates away from the page in question, IMO.

This may be somehow related to the fact cnn.com launches multiple pop-ups on a "timed" delay; with the inline bar on cnn.com, you can close the bar and it will re-appear.

Not making 1.1 without a patch for its dependency, which is now targeted to 1.2.

Mass un-setting milestone per 1.6 roadmap.

Filter on RemoveRedonkulousBuglist to remove bugspam.

Developers: if you have a patch in hand for one of these bugs, you may pull the bug back to 1.6 *at that point*.

This is no longer true with the new popup blocker and the status bar option is very unlikely to come back at this point. Resolving as INVALID.
