Bug 115488 – onbeforeunload prompter is now missing some important words

• Status: UNCONFIRMED
• Component: WebKitGTK

[Grant Gayed]

- observed in WebKitGTK 2.0.1, WebKit1 API, gtk 2.24.x

Steps:
- add the following to any page:
    <script>
    function closeIt() {
        return "This page has unsaved changes.";
    }
    window.onbeforeunload = closeIt;
    </script>
- view the page and then navigate away from it
- a prompter is shown with just "This page has unsaved changes.", and OK/Cancel buttons, but indication of what they mean

In previous releases the prompter had additional words like "Are you sure you want to navigate away? <page-provided message> Press OK to go, or Cancel to stay".  These words are important because onbeforeunload implementers are not generally expected to provide the OK/Cancel button instructions, especially since different browsers have differently-labelled buttons in their prompters.

but no indication

Actually I'm getting my renderers mixed up, it looks like WebKitGTK's onbeforeunload prompter has never had words like these (but the others do).
