We are embedding Gecko 1.3.1 in a C++ application to run on Windows and Mac. Our application leads the user through a series of HTML pages (around 30-50 per session) some of which may contain GIF or JPG images. The pages come from a repository that may be on the local machine or may be on a network share.
Most of the time it works fine. One of our testers, however, reports occasionally seeing the image that indicates a missing image file. The symptom, however, is not consistent. A page that shows up with the missing image icon once may render correctly, with the image, the next time through the sequence. The "missing" image file is definitely present and in the expected folder. We had several people try to reproduce the missing image bug on several machines yesterday without much success. It shows up infrequently but somewhat consistently on one machine, has been seen only once or twice on two other machines, and not at all elsewhere. We tried fast hardware, slow hardware, different OSs, and of course using both networked and local repositories. None of those variables much affected the results. We do note, however, the problem is more common when we run on Windows. It occurred only once on a Mac. It's the kind of symptom you might expect if you were serving pages over the internet--which we are not--and encountering timeouts. Even when our pages render with a missing image image, however, they render within seconds. I assume the relevant timeout values in Gecko are longer than that. The images are key pieces of content and we need to be sure they always appear. We'd be grateful for any suggestions in tracking down the cause or controlling the behavior. _______________________________________________ mozilla-embedding mailing list [email protected] http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-embedding
