Description Stefan Gründel CLA 2009-08-26 07:29:35 EDT
I have a link on a page <a href="javascript:window.open()"> that opens a new pop-up window.  The page itself contains an animated gif and contains a <meta> tag to refresh itself after 10 seconds.

When i view the page in an instance of org.eclipse.swt.browser.Browser and I click the link, the animation of the gif stops, and the page doesn't refresh itself.  It looks like browser.stop() is called behind the scenes.

It all works as expected when I view the page in Internet Eplorer.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
