I'm not at all sure whether this is the right category. Please advise if this is wrong. THe current CVS version of Mozilla and back for at least two weeks has a problem to display the sources of the page. Selecting "Page Source" from the View manu first leads to a page with gray background as one expects it from a normal window. But then everything turns black. It could be that test is printed but in this case the choice of the black background makes this unreadable.
Ahem, I must be more patient. I tried looking at the sources of some big pages and gave up to early. After quite a while (5 secs) the sources do appear. The changing of the background color made me think the process was done since in the final result the background is grey again. I'm simply not used to waiting that long for a result on this quite fast machine. Maybe some progress information should be displayed to prevent other people from falling into the same trap. Sorry for the confusion.
The delay for retrieving source has, I believe, been reported in another bug. Not quite sure how to resolve this one, so I guess I'll just mark wfm.
