• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: WORKSFORME

When i click a drop down menu at several websites including www.radtech.com the half of the page on the web browser goes black.  Don't know why...

Thanks,

Danny

Which build/version of WebKit (http://nightly.webkit.org/) or Safari are you using to produce this issue?

Can you provide specific steps on how to reproduce this, or at least a screenshot?

Confirmed on latest nightly build as of 7/31/06 at Amazon while using a drop down menu.
Not sure page loading is the proper component but I am not sure which to choose.

[Matt Diephouse]

Steps to reproduce:

  1) Go to Amtrak homepage (http://amtrak.com)
  2) Use fare finder to search for a train (try SEA to PDX)
  3) On the "Select Train" page, scroll down and click "View fare"
  4) At the bottom of the "View Fare" page, click "Next"
  5) For title, select "Mr."
  6) Switch to a different tab
  7) Switch back to the Amtrak tab
  8) Be amazed as the page is almost completely black

I don't know that this will reproduce it 100% of the time, but it seemed to work fairly reliably. (This occured for me in several circumstances.)

Confirmed as a regression using these steps to reproduce (please note that the page where you select "Mr" should not be scrolled down for the problem to reproduce). Assuming the radtech.com and amazon.com problems are the same...

I was not able to reproduce as Amtrak web site endlessly reloads.

Once the page appears to be loaded, press ESC. It's only the homepage that continually reloads.

I've seen this, too.  I use a debug build at home, but wasn't sure whether I should file a second bug on just this issue.  If other people are seeing it, a second bug SHOULD be filed.  That behavior is just not right.

Filed Bug 10203 about the Amtrak.com home page continuously reloading.

Alexey, did you by any chance mean NeedsReduction instead of HasReduction?

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

Yes, sorry for the mistake. Corrected.

I could not reproduce it with ToT (Debug build).
Cheers,

Rob.

I also cannot reproduce anymore.
