Bug 30703 – [Gtk] Infinite refresh of www.wachovia.com/myaccounts with Webkit SVN

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKitGTK

[Justin Hibbits]

Summary says it all.  When loading wachovia.com/myaccounts with a svn build from October 21, I get an infinite refresh of the page.

Which nightly build are you using?  Which is the most recent nightly build to not demonstrate this problem?

[Justin Hibbits]

Not a downloaded nightly, an svn build.  Every build from the 1.1.15.2 release through today.  The last svn revision I tried that didn't exhibit this problem was from August 17, so likely around 47350 (can't get an exact revision number, but that's a good approximation).  I'm sure it's worked since, but I stopped until FreeBSD ports were bumped to glib 2.22 and used the latest Webkit svn since then, with this problem.

The easiest way to narrow down the underlying cause of the problem is to determine what code change was responsible.  If you have the time that would be a great way to assist in getting this resolved.

[Justin Hibbits]

I'll try to find some time to bisect changesets this weekend.  My initial guess of the problem page code s the javascript bit:

if (top != self) {
	top.location=self.location;
}

So that narrows it down to only a couple hundred changes to search through first.

Seems something else may be amis.  I just tried webkit 1.1.11, which did work, and it now infinitely refreshes as well.

That's very old. Please try with a more recent version.

It's a very old bug :)  It works now tested with 1.4.3.
