Description

[Luis Villa]

After several minutes of use, it becomes necessary to click on links or buttons
multiple times, in quick sucession, in order for them to load in the browser
window. This is a reasonably new bug- I download nightlies every day, and have
only been noticing it since Thursday or Friday. This persists across several
window managers, and occurs on both UP and SMP machines, so I have to believe
that it is a Linux problem and not WM or kernel related.
There are some related symptoms:
*Occasionally, single-clicking a link will cause activity (as indicated by the
graph in the lower left-hand corner) and the "Document: Done (x secs)" will
change as if something has happened. Problem is that the browser will stay on
the same page. I'm not sure if this is related or not, but I'm pretty sure it
first started occuring on the same daily build.
*Usually (though I haven't checked to see if it is always) when this problem
occurs, if I choose to use the address bar at the top of the window, I have to
hit enter multiple times in order to cause the new address to load.
I haven't detected a pattern to the pages that do or do not cause this problem,
but they have occured on very simple pages using only very strict HTMl, without
javascript or other complications.
Sorry this is so vague, but I can't force it to be repeatable. Sorry about that...
Oh, one other thing- I'm getting this on today's build, 2000040209, and have
been since 20000330 or thereabouts.
