77111 - Infinite opening of new windows

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 76291

(Core :: Networking: File, defect)

Description

[James Green]

Pull up today's build, and type a local url into the urlbar... /home/jg works
for me.

Watch as no content is loaded. Instead a new window gets opened, then another,
and another, until it either segfaults or you close one of the windows, then it
segfaults.

-> netwerk:file. seeing as well on my linux pull from today.

0.9 blocker

Comment 2

[James Green]

I just updated my tree, still occurs.

If you close any new window after typing in a local URI, the whole thing segfaults.

If you close any new window after typing in ftp://ftp.mozilla.org, the window
closes, no new windows appear, and the app seems stable.

Also, over ftp, it *seems* that one new window is created per item found on the
ftp site, at least that's my perception from over a slow link.

This is certainly a 0.9 blocker.

some people are stating they are not seeing this, makes we wonder. This was
supposed to have been fixed, so perhaps cvs is acting up again...

Comment 4

[Bradley Baetz]

I don't see this, in either yesterdays nightly, or a current CVS build. (on
linux) The description of one window being opened per url matches bug 76291,
which was fixed.

Comment 5

[Doron Rosenberg (IBM)]

i also repulled, still occurs. I will see if perhaps cvs ommited that patch
somehow...

Comment 6

[James Green]

Apparently, delete dist/bin/component.reg and it fixes this. I just did it and
it worked. Doron is now going to try to verify.

Comment 7

[Doron Rosenberg (IBM)]

ok, did so and it fixed it.

Comment 8

[Bradley Baetz]

regxpcom needs to be run manually for opt builds - if you don't do that, you
will get problems.

Marking INVALID.
