774100 - reload causes onlocationchange to stop triggering

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect)

Description

[Dale Harvey (:daleharvey)]

The situation is 2 seperate mozbrowser iframes with the same parent, one iframe calls location.reload() and the other subsequently tests for security / location changes.

http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/docshell/base/nsDocShell.cpp#1873

prior to a reload, isSubShell is always true (its false by default then set to true subsequently), even after the reload there is a few calls to nsDocShell:CloneAndReplace which explicity set this to true, but it comes out false from that point on will fail to trigger onLocationChanges's, which securityChange depends on to reset various things. 

Will add a test shortly

And just a clarrification, this only happens when the iframes are run inside the same process, it doesnt happen with oop frames.

If this was addresses, should we enable the disabled test?

If that test works, yes please!
