49911 - pressing enter in the URL bar does not reload the page

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: Networking: Cache, defect, P3)

Description

[Claudius Gayle]

***Overview Description: 

  Just pressing enter or typing in the same url a second time and pressing enter DOES NOT load the url. There are no status 
messages, the logo doesn't spin, the page doesn't even repaint (that i could see) and there was definitely no networking going 
on as I pulled my connection to be sure.

***Steps to Reproduce: 

1) go to http://www.mozilla.org

2) press 'Enter' while the location field has focus.


***Actual Results: 

	You get a busy cursor for a split second and then, apparently, nothing.

***Expected Results: 

	Reload the page.

***Build Date & Platform Bug Found: 

	2000082108 Win98

***Additional Information:

This works fine it you just click 'Reload'. Discovered this bug while verifying bug 45770

Yeah, I guess this is the same problem I mentioned in bug 45770:

"Also, while trying to reproduce this, I noticed that if you type in an URL, 
press enter, wait until the page loads, then press enter again (while the URL 
bar has the focus), focus just switches back to the page instead of reloading 
it...this isn't the correct behavior.  "

When we press enter or type in the same url a second time and pressing enter, we  
load the URL from the server or cache based on the following factors.

If the cache entry is valid, then we load the url from the cache, else we get it 
from the server. So in the case of mozilla.org we load it from cache since the 
page has not changed, but in the case of tinderbox, we always get the page from 
the server since the page is always changing.

is there some Big Reason 'Enter' and 'Reload' don't do the same thing in this case (or at least don't appear to?)

note i also filed related bug 49913

not sure about the difference between enter and re-load, there may be a bug with 
the reload (or shift-reload) mechanism.  But the enter key is working 
correctly with the current cache.
