6113 - Window stops updating if load doc that needs plug-in

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect, P3)

Description

[Eli Goldberg]

* TITLE/SUMMARY
[PP] Browser window no longer updated upon loading document that requires plug-in

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0) Launch Apprunner
1) Type in a URL of 'http://www.kimble.org/kimble_themovie.swf'. (Or, go to
http://www.prometheus-music.com/gecko/miditest.html and click on the page's sole
link, for a MIDI example.)

* RESULT
 - What happened

The status bar attempts to connect to host indefinitely.

The browser doesn't crash (you can enter a new URL into the location bar), but
the browser window (content) ceases to be updated; e.g. if you expand the window,
it'll redraw the chrome, but doesn't erase the previously drawn chrome.

 - What was expected

I'm assuming that this is a side-effect of the plug-ins functionality not being
fully implemented; however, since this is Mac OS-only, I'm noting it as a bug
report just in case.

* REGRESSION

 - Occurs On
        Mac OS Apprunner (5.7.99 AM optimized build)

 - Doesn't Occur On
        Win32 Apprunner (5.7.99 AM optimized build [NT 4, Service Pack 3])
        Linux Apprunner (5.7.99 AM optimized build)


* CONFIGURATIONS TESTED

- [Mac] Power Mac 8500/120 (233 Mhz 604e), 64 MB RAM (VM on; 1 MB of VM used),
1024x768 (Thousands of Colors), Mac OS 8.6

- [Win32] Vectra VL (233 Mhz P2), 96 MB RAM, 800x600 (True Color), NT 4.0 SP3.

- [Linux] Vectra VL (266 Mhz P2), 96 MB RAM.

Shrirang, could you please check if this is still present?

Andrew,I can see this happen on today's mac commercial build. The only
difference I see is the status bar stops and "Document:done" message appears.

Still seeing this behaviour on today's mac commercial build (2000012008).

M16 has been out for a while now, these bugs target milestones need to be 
updated.

Not a Netscape 6 RTM blocker. FUTURE. This bug has been marked Future because
the Netscape engineer it is assigned to is overburdened.

Mac -- Peter, would you give an update on this when you have a chance?

Comment 9

[Peter Lubczynski]

This is an old bug. Looks like a problem with full-page plugins that has already
been fixed.
