55760 - [RFE] When Open Link in New Window, URL may be copied to the URL location in the toolbar just after the new windows is created.

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, enhancement, P3)

Description

[/\/\arcio Galli]

This is RFE,
Tested with 2000092909, linux,

I just openned a new window with Open Link in New Window.
During the page load, the URL is not placed in the URL location text field in
the toolbar. I believe if the URL is copied right after the new window created
this is great feedback to the user. Also, in some cases (network slow, CGI
answer slow, etc) user will be able to stop, reload, save the URL, etc.

I will test with Win.

hm, this seems to work for me --am using [opt comm] branch bits on linux, mac
and winnt [2000.10.10.xx-n6]. when i select "Open Link in New Window" from the
context menu, the new browser that opens has the target URL in the location
textfile.

could you try this with a more recent build? do reopen if you see this again
--and let me know whether you're using a trunk or branch build.

mass verification of WorksForMe bugs: to find all bugspam pertaining to this,
set your search string to "IfItWorksForSlappyTheSquirrelThenItWFM".

if you think this particular bug is *still* an open issue, please make sure of
the following before reopening:

a. that it's still a problem with ***recent trunk builds*** on the all
appropriate platform[s]

b. provide clear steps to reproduce (unless a good test case is already in the
bug report), making sure it pertains to the original problem (avoid morphing as
much as possible :)

Hi,

I think, this bug is a duplicate of both
bug 70682 and bug 63334.
