55088 - Bookmarks using JS getSelection freeze app

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 56337

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect, P3)

Description

[Peter Trudelle]

Using today's mozilla trunk build on Win98

Select bookmark with following contents from personal toolbar:
javascript: id=document.getSelection(); if(!id) { void(id=prompt('Enter Mozilla
bug number of summary term,or \'main\' to go straight to Bugzilla:','main')) }
if(id) { if(id == 'main') {document.location='http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/' }
else if(isNaN(id))
{document.location='http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?short_desc='+escape(id)
} else
{document.location='http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id='+escape(id) } }
expected result: JS window wtih edit field.
Actual result: app frozen except for beeping on click, as if JS window
offscreen. No workaround, have to kill process.

sounds like bug 25684 (why is bug 25684 wfm??)

Comment 2

I would think that this would just be yet another bug 25684 is dependent on. Not sure
about the WFM (I would think it should just be low priority or 'future', but I'm guessing).
Peter wrote this and marked that so I'll let he and jrgm sort it out, someday.

This is working fine in 100708 branch verification build, is this trunk-only?.
BTW, bug 25684 was just a tracking bug.

Probably a dup of 56337 (fixed 11/29) via bug 55460.  Reopen if you still see 
this.
