Hotmail inbox refreshes repeatedly in quick succession once an e-mail is selected. This started with 4.0b10 and was not present in 4.0 b9

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to www.hotmail.com and log in
2. Panes are set up side-by-side with display pane to the right and e-mail list pane to the left.
3. Click on an e-mail to display it in the display pane

Actual Results:  
Hotmail refreshes repeatedly in rapid succession, about once a second.

Expected Results:  
Hotmail should display the selected e-mail in the display pane and stop.

This appears to be a problem with interpreting the javascript that has been coded for hotmail.

No, this is a bug in the hotmail code itself and have to be fixed by Microsoft.
