Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. login to gmail 2. open a chat with someone 3. 'pop-out' the chat window into a separate window 4. close the chat window 5. try to initiate a chat with that person again Actual Results: the chat window does not appear the second time round Expected Results: the chat window is visible and usable as normal each time you reopen a chat with someone
Does this work in Firefox (or any other Gecko browser) or in Safari, OmniWeb, or Opera? I suspect it doesn't and this is a bug in Gmail. cl
i just tested: - firefox 2.0.0.7, it worked fine. - opera 9.22, same issue occurred. - safari 3, gmail does not offer chat in safari 3 (might do in safari 2, not sure) it seems to be related to the fact that the chat is popped out into a separate window. I tried these two cases: 1. initiate a chat with someone, the chat spawns within gmail window. pop out the chat into a separate window. close the chat. re-initiate with the same person. and nothing happens (bug) 2. initiate a chat with someone, the chat spawns within gmail window. do NOT pop out the chat into a separate window. close the chat. re-initiate with the same person. chat spawns within gmail window again. no problems. maybe gmail doesnt receive the window close event? could be a gmail bug. i have sent this bug to them too.
it definitely seems this would be caused by the same issue, however the effect is different. sorry for the duplication! i'm new to this and i searched open bugs by mistake...
Yep, this was the onbeforeunload issue, so it will be fixed in the next release.
