344929 - When scrollbars are disabled via javascript, they stay disabled for that tab even after navigating to a new page.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 114850

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Jay Mackley]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4

After using javascript "window.scrollbars.visible=false;" I found that that scrollbars will disappear "forever" on that tab page. Even after navigating to a new URL the scrollbar visibility setting is not refreshed/reenabled. This renders subsequent page essentially inoperable. The only workaround is to close the now broken tab and start a new tab from scratch.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a window/tab that runs the javascript "window.scrollbars.visible=false;"
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Scrollbars disappear "forever" on that tab. A new page/url will never have scrollbars (unless it just happens to execute window.scrollbars.visible=false;)

Expected Results:  
Scrollbars should be active for a new page/url.

Seems to me this is basically bug 271066, right?

No that's about window.open.  This isn't about that.

I see the problem in 1.5.0.4.  But not on the 1.8.1 branch or trunk.  And that's because of Bug 114850.  DUPE?

Oops!
I'm forgetting my own bugs that I've fixed :/
