60269 - Reload doesn't reflect changes to text <input>'s

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 46845

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect, P3)

Description

[jks]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.75 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.15 i686)
BuildID:    2000101015

When you change the value of a text <input> and hit reload the changes don't get
made on the displayed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.selectacast.net/~jks/mozillatest2.html
2.  Download the html so you can play with the html
3.  View the page in your browser
4.  fiddle with the inputs
5. Reload the page in your browser.

Actual Results:  See http://www.selectacast.net/~jks/mozillatest2.html

Expected Results:  The inputs should have the new value in the html.

I found this bug trying to replicate a different bug.  The original bug I was
trying to replicate was that readonly fields could be modified by dragging text
into them.  For some reason I couldn't replicate that bug on this page.

Confirming on WinNT with 2000110509 commercial binary. Changing OS to "All".


Steps to reproduce: 

1. Go to the given URL, save the HTML file locally, and load it in the browser.
2. Open the HTML file in a text editor, change the value of an input, and save.
3. Hit "Reload" in the browser: the new value of the input is not shown.



Compare bug 33534, which is a similar issue involving applets.



NOTES:

1. The same thing also occurs for me in NN4.7, exactly as in N6: 
   reload alone doesn't load the changes correctly.

2. In both NN4.7 and in N6, SHIFT + reload loads the changes correctly

3. In IE4.7, reload alone loads the changes correctly

Cache bugs to Gordon

[gordon]

This is not a cache bug.  The behavior seems consistent with 4.x and 6.0.  
Perhaps this is an RFE?

Comment 4

[jks]

This is a bug.  It might be a chache bug or it might be a forms control bug but
it is *not* and RFE.

This looks like a duplicate of bug 46845

Similar thing happening here with Moz 0.9.1 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98;
en-US; rv:0.9.1) Gecko/20010607) Build ID:2001060703 on Windows98

I can change data and resubmit the form but the resulting page will display the
data I previously submitted.
However, it only happens two out of every five times.
