User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826 Build Identifier: Mozilla 1.2 (uninstalled because of bug) When I press Ctrl+W to close the current Mozilla window, it starts thrashing (accesses wildly) the HD wildly for 4-5 seconds and becomes unresponsive during that time. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start up Mozilla on any page with links 2. Right-click on a link and select "Open in new window" 3. Click on "x" to close window, or press Ctrl+W to close it Actual Results: Mozilla starts thrashing the HD and becomes unresponsive for 4-5 seconds. Expected Results: Just closed the window and continued without any delay, like v1.1 does I have tried it on 3 different Win2000 machines, and on two of them, the problem is 100% reproducable. I have tried re-installing v1.1 and confirming that the problem is gone, then re-installing v1.2 and verified that the problem returns (on one of the problem machines). The two machines where the problem is have similar software installed (my home and work development machine), the third one is a more or less clean Win2000 machine (my test machine). Both of the machines with the problem has a 900K BOOKMARK file. When I copied the 900K BOOKMARK file to the machine where the bug wasn't present, it started exhibiting the same problem.

v blocker ? Why should this block development of mozilla ?

This can't be bug 101319, which is a year older than the 1.1 release. But it can't be bug 182842 either, which acclaimedly is NOT on the 1.2 branch: The cause for bug 182842 is the checking for bug 180423. That fix was checked in on the trunk on Nov. 21st. At that point the tree was closed for 1.2. The patch in bug 180423 has no approval for checkin to the branch. And I can't see anything indicating it was checked in on the branch either? Or was it? Three other users reported similar bugs with 1.2 however. I dup'ed them against 101319, but i think that's wrong now. The 1.2 bugs are bug 182619, bug 182472, bug 182435

> blocker ? Why should this block development of mozilla ? It shouldn't, but it prevents me from testing it (which was one of the two possible options on the selection I chose), since I use "Open in New Window" a lot, and it is unacceptable (for me) to be forced to wait 4-5 seconds each time I close a window. I had to re-install v1.1 to be able to use Mozilla.

Comment 3 is correct. This bug is NOT a dupe of bug 182842 but a dupe of bug 182373. The latter is the disk thrashing bug for the 1.2 branch as reported. For the cause see this comment http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=182373#c23 Please redupe someone this bug against the correct one.
