Details

At the bottom of this page there is a form with two text fields and a submit button. If you hit the submit button (even without filling in the text fields), a new page should load, as it does in Nav4/IE4/5 Instead, NGLayout seems to just hang (it does not crash, though). Resizes don't repaint, etc. Strange...
Severity: critical → normal
Oops, I had left the severity from a previous bug report. Sorry, it's now set to normal :-)

Verified fixed using 11.30.98 builds of xpviewer on NT 4 SP3 and Win98, specifically, submitting the form does not result in a hang, but results in being taken to the "Test Group" page. However, output identical to that described in this bug report (a partial app hang) simply by clicking on any of the text fields on the resulting page. (i.e. JavaScript, VBScript Support, Java, ActiveX Support.) Upon clicking any of these text lables: - The content region of the viewer will cease to update - Links clicked on the page no longer invoke any browser activity - The scroll bar is "hung" (can't be moved) (Other app behavior is okay; specifically, a random sample of menu items still work.) Please note that this also takes place in Communicator 4.5 RTM --- but works fine using the Windows 98/IE4 browser. Thus, since I don't see an explanation of the root source of the hang described in this bug or other evidence that this is an unrelated problem in the bug report, I'm re-opening this bug. (Please let me know by E-mail if you'd like this issue split into a separate bug.)
