From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020513 Description of problem: I'm running mozilla on a laptop. When I suspend/resume and get a new IP address, mozilla stops accepting input. If I type C-L and start typing a URL in the window, it will fail to autocomplete, and if I hit 'return' it will fail to load the page. Simiarly, if I type C-Shift-L to enter a URL via the dialog, I cannot hit 'enter', or click on "open" or "cancel" -- the dialog will just sit there and mozilla will not do anything. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.run mozilla 2.suspend the laptop 3.resume the laptop in a location where I will obtain a different IP address 4. try to use the mozilla that was running before you suspended Actual Results: I cannot enter new URLs or autocomplete Expected Results: Mozilla should have continued to work properly. I needed to C-q (kill) and restart mozilla for it to work. This is annoying when I want to keep pages up across laptop movements. Additional info:
Are you sure that this is related to the change in IP address and not something going wrong with the resume?
Yes, because if I resume back to the same IP address it works just fine.
mozilla itself couldn't handle change of IP address anyway. anyhow this was probably fixed long ago.
