User-Agent:       Opera/7.50 (X11; Linux i686; U)  [en]

browser sometimes(!!) opens each frame in a new window. Seems to happen more 
frequently when connection is slow like modem.
The problem is that you'll need an account to test the problem, so I simply 
created one, here are the data's:

Login-Number: 10080722
password: mozilla

After you entered the data and pressed the login-image, it either works right, 
or seperate windows open up.
I've tested this with MOzilla-1.1/1.5 and Firebird 0.8 and it happens everywhere 
so I think it also happens in Mozilla-1.7RC3

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. surf www.mysc.at
2. enter the login-number and the password
3. login
4. either you see the bug or not (this happens much more frequently with high 
latency connection (e.g. modem))

Actual Results:  
Insted of opening a frameset mozilla opens each frame in its own windoew

Expected Results:  
open a frameset
Yes, I can see the bug, using:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040611
Firefox/0.8.0+

It happens when I open the site in a new tab. 
A new window is opened with what should be the top frame, I guess.
http://mysc.at/nav_oben.htm

The place with the empty spot has this url: http://mysc.at/brow.php3?ses_id=&site=
This has got the following javascript: parent.open('nav_oben.htm', 'NavOben');
So basically it is trying to overwrite it's own frame window, because the top
left frame in the parent window has name="NavOben".

So somehow, when the javascript executes in the frame, sometimes it doesn't see
that there is a parent frame with the "Navoben" name.
Hmm, so is it a bug in Mozilla or in the site.

It works in IE5,6; Konqueror-3.2; Opera-7.5 so I guess it should work in mozilla 
too?

Thanks for watching at this bug!
Attached file First part of testcase (deleted) —
Yes, I think this is a bug.
This is the first part of a testcase I'm trying to make.
Attached file Testcase (deleted) —
Well, I managed to forget the login part, but I already see the problem (I
think) by just visiting the site.
When you open this link as a tab in the background, a site with
http://www.mozilla.org opens, which should not happen.
Also, when you open the testcase two times in a new window, the second window
doesn't load mozilla.org in the left frame, but loads it in the left frame of
the first window.

Probably this is all related to bug 103638. 
Confirming.  On 1.7/Linux here, the testcase behaves exactly as described.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true

Ok, this is WFM with current trunk build, probably fixed by bug 103638.
