Description B. Chen

Build Identifier: Eclipse 3.6.1

setUrl() API navigates to about:blank first before goes to real url. This breaks WebHistory if application calls setUrl("about:blank") first follow by another call setUrl("another url").

This only failed on IE based WebBrowser.

Propose fix:
IE.java
setUrl()
Change 
if (_getUrl().length() == 0 ) {
to
if (_getUrl().length() == 0 && ABOUT_BLANK.equalsIgnoreCase(url)) {


Reproducible: Always

Grant, thanks for fixing this bug ! Could you please port this fix into Eclipse 3.6.2 stream? SWT 3.6.2 will be the version used in our product.

Since it's a regression it can be considered for 3.6.2.  Adding Silenio for +1.
