74004 - Browser unusable until Mail & News finish downloading

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 32222

Description

[Dimitrios]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; 0.8.1)
BuildID:    2001032904

Already opened Browser windows cannot be used, when large messages are
downloaded from POP3 server. You can select the respecting process on taskbar
but nothing else happens on the screen (Mail is always displayed until
downloading finishes). Other Windows application work fine. It seems that Mail
Back End consumes all proccesing power that can be acquired from Mozilla :(

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open 1-2 Browser windows and load a url on each of them. Wait until pages
finish loading.
2. Sent yourself a message with moderately large attachment (depends on
connection speed, of course).
3. When downloading message starts, try to select the Browser windows from taskbar.

Actual Results:  browser windows are not available until message downloading
finishes.

Expected Results:  Being able to handle those browser instances as usual, e.g
set focus on them, load new urls etc.

Yes. It turns out to be a duplicate of bug 32222 (recently fixed). I 
tested on 2001041104 build and it works fine now.
