56020 - scroll bars do not appear in sibling frame after document.write

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 55334

(Core :: Layout: Images, Video, and HTML Frames, defect, P3)

Description

[Bob Clary [:bc] (inactive)]

The page generates a two frame page via document.write.
The first frame url is of the form tc_driver.html?testcases=1,2,3 while
the second frame is about:blank.

Steps to reproduce:

0.  requires a recent M18 build and at least 64M (possibly 128M) or ram.

1.  start tc.html

2.  select test cases and press submit to run the tests.
    (this may take a minute or more to complete)

3.  when the page redisplays, the left frame (which is generated by a
    document.write) will have scroll bars, but the right frame will not
    since the content is too small.

4.  click on any of the links in the left frame to display a report in
    in the right frame using document.write.  The scroll bars will not appear.

If you size your browser window small enough before starting tc.html,
the scroll bars will appear after the tests complete.

If this has been reported already, I apologise, but I couldn't find it.

On a side note, while the scripts are running the rendering of document.writes
and window.status fail to occur. Can anyone help me with the appropriate
bug reports?
