Public bug reported:
When the interval is very small (<30 more or less) the function setInterval
executes the callback function some times and then it stop executing it. It
seems like if an "interval" event arrives while the last one is being handled
the timer stops.
Another strange situation occurs, supose the following javascript code:
setInterval("a()",10); // --> this will stop executing
setInterval("b()",1000); // --> this will work correctly
in this situation a() will no longer be called after a random number of
calls. Then, every time the b() callback function is called the a()
function is called too.
In windows it works well (firefox 1.5.2), I don't prove it on another
systems and don't know if it is a known issue. It happens also in the
epiphany and galeon browsers (but I think that all them use the same
renderer, they display web pages in the same way) and does not happen in
Konqueror.
My ubuntu version is dapper 6.06 LTS
I use gnome (ati radeon propietary display drivers).
I have installed firefox and firefox-gnome-support packages.
I have the following extensions in my firefox:
- Mouse Gestures
- Web developer (not the one in the repository)
- some language packs
thanks in advance (and for all the work you are doing with linux and ubuntu).
