From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.17-21mdk i686; en-US; m18) Gecko/20010130

It's quite annoying that everytime I wish to change the charset setting, or want
to read the source code, the browser must do a reload (even the page content
have been cached in memory beforehand).

When doing PHP debugging work, this behaviour may cause data loss (ie, the
source code generatored is *different* to the original page loaded).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
- clean caches; restart mozilla;
- browse anything you want;
- try change the character coding by 'view -> character coding'
or
- try 'view -> page source'

a reload occurs.

Actual Results:  a page reload occurs.

Expected Results:  does reload really necessary?
bug 17889  Changing character set reloads the page from web
bug 55583  view-source should show original source

Both bugs depend on bug 40867, "Need means to reuse/reload current page without 
refetching from server".
