* TITLE/SUMMARY [PP] Browser window no longer updated upon loading document that requires plug-in * STEPS TO REPRODUCE 0) Launch Apprunner 1) Type in a URL of 'http://www.kimble.org/kimble_themovie.swf'. (Or, go to http://www.prometheus-music.com/gecko/miditest.html and click on the page's sole link, for a MIDI example.) * RESULT - What happened The status bar attempts to connect to host indefinitely. The browser doesn't crash (you can enter a new URL into the location bar), but the browser window (content) ceases to be updated; e.g. if you expand the window, it'll redraw the chrome, but doesn't erase the previously drawn chrome. - What was expected I'm assuming that this is a side-effect of the plug-ins functionality not being fully implemented; however, since this is Mac OS-only, I'm noting it as a bug report just in case. * REGRESSION - Occurs On Mac OS Apprunner (5.7.99 AM optimized build) - Doesn't Occur On Win32 Apprunner (5.7.99 AM optimized build [NT 4, Service Pack 3]) Linux Apprunner (5.7.99 AM optimized build) * CONFIGURATIONS TESTED - [Mac] Power Mac 8500/120 (233 Mhz 604e), 64 MB RAM (VM on; 1 MB of VM used), 1024x768 (Thousands of Colors), Mac OS 8.6 - [Win32] Vectra VL (233 Mhz P2), 96 MB RAM, 800x600 (True Color), NT 4.0 SP3. - [Linux] Vectra VL (266 Mhz P2), 96 MB RAM.

Shrirang is now QA owner for Plug-ins; QA assigning all of my Plug-ins bugs over to him.
Shrirang, could you please check if this is still present?
Andrew,I can see this happen on today's mac commercial build. The only difference I see is the status bar stops and "Document:done" message appears.

M16 has been out for a while now, these bugs target milestones need to be updated.
Not a Netscape 6 RTM blocker. FUTURE. This bug has been marked Future because the Netscape engineer it is assigned to is overburdened.

This is an old bug. Looks like a problem with full-page plugins that has already been fixed.
