55544 - links are hot/clickable while page is loading

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P3)

Description

[Kathleen :Brade]

Open a browser window
Go to the above URL
Choose File | Edit Page
Notice that the right most icon (mozilla/N/throbber) continues to throb
Click on a link or on the image

Notice that the document is reloaded with the new url/link.

I see this with various pages as long as I click the link before the document 
finishes loading.  I think we should fix this for rtm since many of our users 
will have slower connections than we do and will be much more likely to run into 
this problem.

it can wait till post-rtm, if it doesn't crash the app or if therer isn't 
dataloss, it will have t wait

This happens on linux too. And it is bloody irritating!

Also, the first clicked link loads, then the second clicked link loads so you
history gets both pages.  This can be very confusing if you are expecting the
second clicked link to be the only page loaded instead of the page loads being
queued up.

In the step "Click on a link or on the image", do you mean in the browser or
in the page being loaded into Composer?

What I am describing is with both steps being done in the browser, I don't think
it depends on the composer at all, but I may be mistaken.

i cant repro any of the original bug report, including the "throbber continues
to throb".
