379798 - Add Stop to the context menu

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Camino Graveyard :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Stuart Morgan]

A request from feedback to consider: adding Stop to the page context menu. We have Back, Forward, and Reload, so it seems like a reasonable request.

You won't get any argument from me. Who wants to do the honours?

But all of the other functions in that CM act on pages that are done/not loading, whereas stop only works on pages that are loading; it seems a little odd to be invoking a CM on a loading page.

I'd actually advocate removing Back, Forward, and Reload; navigation seems an odd thing to have in a page CM IMO.  Safari, btw, does not have those options (nor does it allow you to invoke a CM while the page is loading.)

Well, on Tiger it has Back and Forward as appropriate, and either Stop or Reload. I tend to agree that they are odd there though; just filing this for discussion, not because I'm attached to the idea.

Comment 4

[Stuart Morgan]

I'm going to go ahead and confirm this; as long as we continue to have the navigation items, we should have stop; since it would be there only while the page is actually loading, there's little harm.

(And to clarify comment 3 for modern times, all versions of Safari since Tiger have stop/reload)
