662732 - XML pages with XSLT sometimes fail to render

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: XSLT, defect)

Description

[Michael Sinz]

XML pages rendered with XSLT sometimes don't render (or come up blank).  Sometimes it takes multiple reloads of the page to get the page to render correctly.

This can be seen at http://svn.code-host.net/svn/Insurrection/ and later pages, such as http://svn.code-host.net/svn/Insurrection/trunk/?Insurrection=log

However, my attempt to reproduce this with my tests at http://svn.code-host.net/browser-tests/index.html (and specifically test #5 at http://svn.code-host.net/browser-tests/test5.html seems to work rather consistently)

Firefox 3.6 and earlier (all the way back to 1.5+) have always worked with these XML/XSLT pages.  (And so do most other browsers these days - the test pages were put together a while ago)

I have tested this in Firefox 4.0.1 official builds on MacOS but it did not reproduce on the Windows build running on Windows 7.

I am trying to hunt down what may be different between the Windows and MacOS installs of Firefox.  The MacOS version does have some plugins enabled (Firebug and related)

Comment 2

After re-installing Firefox, I am having difficulty in reproducing the problem.

I am lowering this to unconfirmed now that I can't reproduce it.  (And I had re-installed Firefox 3 times before this since I have 4.0 and 4.0.1 installed at various times, so I am not sure where this problem came from.)
