95905 - Location shown at status bar is wrong

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 94038

(Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[david.hagood]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2+) Gecko/20010730
BuildID:    2001073008

The location shown at the bottom of the browser window is incorrect when
beginning a connection - instead of showing the site currently being connected
to, it shows the last site successfully connected to.

Example: go to userfriendly.org. After the page has loaded, go to a site that is
slow to respond (for example, right now slashdot.org would be a good choice.)
Instead of showing "Connecting to slashdot.org", it shows "connecting to
images.userfriendly.org".


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to one site that you can successfully connect to.
2. After the site finishes loading, go to another site.


Actual Results:  Note that the URL shown at the bottom of the window in the
"Connecting to" message is the site you last successfully connected to, not the
site you are trying to connect to.

Expected Results:  The URL in the "connecting to" message should be the URL of
the site you are GOING to.

Changing summary from "Location shown at bottom of browser window wrong" to
"Location shown at status bar is wrong". Over to Networking.

This looks like a dupe of bug 94038.  wowbagger could you check this bug and
report if any of the conditions there match your problem?

Yes, this is a dup. Sorry, didn't find the other bug when I did the search.

Same conditions (using a proxy).
