509621 - Seeing a blank page after returning search results from intensive processing

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[cmtalbert]

Often on the new build with tile caching, I'm seeing a blank white page being loaded (not a checkerboard) after the browser does some intensive searching or dynamic site building.

Things like search results, plane searches, mail loading.  It isn't reproducible. So far these are the steps I have seen that seem to reproduce it most of the time.

1. Start some kind of search that will end up in a dynamic page being built (search for flights)
2. Kick off the search
3. Put the device down and don't touch it until it finishes loading.

= Actual =
Look at the device - it will be a white, blank page until you pan.  The minute you pan, you might see a checkerboard or you might see the content suddenly appear

= Expected =
The content will be displayed once the target site is built.

= Random notes =
I've never seen this behavior previously on Fennec.  I suspect tile cache because of the way that it loads the content the minute you initiate a pan.  That of course is not very scientific.  Hopefully others can find better steps to reproduce here and attach them.

I'm running a 20090810 nightly (both xulrunner and fennec).

ctalbert, when you get a chance, load a latest nightly build and give it a try.  I am not seeing this with my browsing.
