--- Begin Message ---Package: epiphany-browser Version: 2.22.3-5 Severity: normal Hi, On a page containing the JavaScript code fragment window.resizeTo(...) the window resizing gets applied to subsequently opened pages too. For instance if you open the attached sample page containing the JavaScript fragment mentioned above the window (pane) shrinks to 800x730 px². This is okay, because it's somehow what the author wants. But if you open now a completely unrelated page (for instance Google) by typing its address in the address box, this 'subsequent' page has also a resized window pane. It opens in something like an IFRAME not using the entire space available provided by the surrounding window. This is a bug. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages epiphany-browser depends on: ii epiphany-gecko 2.22.3-5 Intuitive GNOME web browser - Geck epiphany-browser recommends no packages. epiphany-browser suggests no packages.

If this is what the web designer wants, this is okay. Now surf to another random page by typing its URL into the address field above. In Epiphany the window stays resized to the smaller size as has been setup by the _javascript_ of the page before (i.e. this page). Hence the _javascript_ of this page can influence the layout of completely unrelated pages viewed later. This is a bug.
