520110 - Chatzilla should report netsplits differently, it stalls firefox and chatzilla until the split is over

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 461404

(Other Applications :: ChatZilla, defect)

Description

[Charitwo]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 (.NET CLR 4.0.20506)

This is very frustrating, irssi uses a magical two lines. One for the splits, and another for the joins, and gives you the option to show more if you really are curious. Chatzilla should function no differently and should not stall during these occurrences. This becomes more prevalent on larger networks in which the user occupies multiple channels. Anywhere from 10 users to 1500, and the users that split from either of those ranges makes browsing completely impossible.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Launch Firefox
2.Launch ChatZilla
3.Be using Chatzilla during a netsplit, the stall is longer and more annoying when occupying multiple, LARGE channels.
Actual Results:  
Firefox stalled.

Expected Results:  
Reported it in as few lines as possible and allowed the end user to browse normally regardless of the splits that were happening.

OK, so how is this our fault? Please talk to chatzilla.

CZ is a Mozilla.org addon, it comes with SM as default
