39039 - "Open Link in New Window" causes current window to stop loading

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect, P3)

Description

[unapersson]

If you're loading a long page and you right click a link and choose
"Open Link in New Window", it seems to stop loading the current page
when it opens the new window.

[Blake Ross]

Can you provide an example URL of a pretty long or graphics-heavy page?  It's 
hard to test this on a DSL connection, everything loads before I can try to 
repro.

Reassigning as per Don

Comment 3

[unapersson]

I discovered it while loading a bugzilla query and trying to open a bug in a
new window while the results were loading.

Travis no longer works here. reassigning ownerless bugs to docshell owner,
valeski for further triage.

Comment 5

[Mike Pinkerton (not reading bugmail)]

this is a big deal for me, as I open lots of new windows. I'd mark it dogfood, 
but that might be a little overkill.

removing the nsbeta3- for re-triage and adding myself to cc list

-> dan. presumably we not processing events when the new window is coming up.

Comment 7

[Mike Pinkerton (not reading bugmail)]

no, it's not that it just doesn't process the events but eventually gets to 
them...the old window _stops_ when you try to open the new one.

QA -> jrgm.  Does anyone have a handle on why this is happening, and what it
would take to fix it?  I don't think I'd hold the release for this, or even
prioritize it so as to merit significant investigation, but I might be persuaded
to take a safe fix.

->gagan, Doesn't sound like a window or event issue, first window thinks it is
done, as if the loadGroup has shut down.

Comment 10

[Gagan]

someone is calling abort on the previous (currently loading channel) Seems like 
loadgroup issues with docshell ->mscott.

Comment 11

[Scott MacGregor]

adding beta3+ after triage mtg.

Comment 12

[selmer (gone)]

nsbeta3-

Comment 13

[unapersson]

This seems to be working okay now, so unless there's any unresolved issues maybe
this one can be closed. Marking as WORKSFORME.
