Spun off of bug 76495, "We tear down the world before having anything to replace it with" (aka "Supress painting for first 1.2 seconds of page load to improve page load time"). If I hit Escape while a page is loading but paint-suppressed, the new (often incomplete) page replaces the current page. To reproduce: 1. Click a link to http://www.plastic.com/index.pl?switch=1. 2. As soon as the Plastic page begins to load, press Escape. (It can be tricky to judge when the page has begun to load because the fix from bug 76495, which makes the new page not paint over the old page for ~1.2 seconds unless the page finishes loading before that time is up.) Result: Plastic page replaces this page. Expected: This page should stick around, since it's what I saw before hitting the Escape key. It shouldn't matter that Mozilla has started to lay out the new page.

Any progress on this bug. It seems to bite me everytime I try to visit a link that has been slashdotted. I think the bug has been resolved to a great extent because I am using Ctrl + Tab in 20020915 on Windows XP to switch between tabs while a page is loading and it seems to work okay.
