936606 - trackpad navigation leads to unresponsive page

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 881964

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Dave Herman [:dherman]]

In the last couple of days in Nightly (since the new back-navigation animation landed, I think) when I do a back-navigation via two-finger swipe on OS X (Mavericks), the page becomes unresponsive and sometimes blank.

STR:

- Go to any page. I can repro reliably with http://ecma-international.org/ecma-262/5.1/
- Click on a link in the page (including an anchor link within the same page)
- Do a two-finger swipe to go back
- Try clicking on anything on the page

Expected behavior: the page is responsive.
Actual behavior: nothing happens when you click.

Sounds like a dup of bug 881964, which isn't specific to Mavericks.

That's right. We're waiting for "pageshow" events before tearing down the animation overlay (to avoid showing the previous page before the new one has loaded). We don't seem to be getting those consistently or reliably. We'll deal with that in bug 881964.
