Public bug reported:
This has started happening after upgrading from Ubuntu 10.04 to Ubuntu
10.10. I'm not sure the bug is in Firefox, but up to now I haven't seen
any other program affected.
To reproduce: go to www.google.com and start typing a long search query
Expected (and how it behaved before the upgrade): every once in a while
google's javascript scripts refresh the content of the page, the page
greys out while reloading content, but the browser itself NEVER stops
responding to mouse and keyboard input. The input textfield ALWAYS
responds and shows what you're typing, regardless of whether the content
below is being reloaded, and most important, the browser always responds
to interaction such as clicking on another tab. This is what used to
happen and what SHOULD happen.
Observed behaviour (since the upgrade to 10.10): whenever the search
results are refreshed, the whole browser stops responding to keyboard
and mouse input while the content is loaded and the page is greyed out:
you stop seeing what you're typing, and most annoying, it doesn't even
respond to mouse clicks on other tabs and the like. This kills the "A"
in Ajax which means "Asynchronous". It seems the whole browser is
completely blocked while performing Ajax requests.
I don't think this is a problem in google's javascript code, as this
only happens in Firefox and only since the upgrade. This does not happen
in other browsers.
