Description Bernd Schmidt CLA 2010-08-06 07:14:46 EDT 
Build Identifier: 20090920-1017

Opening a PDF via the BrowserPlugin (used org.eclipse.swt.snippets.Snippet128 from http://www.eclipse.org/swt/snippets/) works on 64bit Lucid when doing it once. But when opening an HTTP-page and switch back to the PDF several times, the PDF plugin does not display anything. Test could be done via Back and Forward Buttons in the sample.

Environment:
OS: Lucid Lynx (2.6.32-24-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 28 05:14:15 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux)
Sun java version "1.6.0_20"
used swt-jars: org.eclipse.swt_3.5.1.v3555a.jar
               org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_64_3.5.1.v3555a.jar
Firefox: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100723 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.8
Adobe Reader: 9.3.3
xul-runner: 1.9.2.8+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.04.1

This works on 32-bit Linux systems and on Win and MacOS X well.
Reproduced on several 64-bit Ubuntu machines (karmic and lynx)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start Snippet128 application (opens "http://eclipse.org")
2. open a PDF
3. click Back and Forward several times. => PDF Plugin will not appear anymore

SWT no longer supports xulrunner based browsers. Closing. Please reopen if it still happens for you with supported version.
