Description Lincoln Ramsay 2003-09-01 01:39:05 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:           Vendor Supplied SuSE 8.2 RPMs
OS:          Linux

Ok so the description is a little vague... it's hard to describe what the problem is.

I often want to load a bunch of pages so I open konq, select a site from my bookmarks, open a tab, select a site, open a tab, select a site, etc. The problem seems to be that after opening a new tab if one of the previous tabs "finishes loading" (I'm not sure if it's finishing loading or just starting the page download) *before* I select the bookmark, the bookmarked page is opened on the other tab.

I'll explain the simplest case with steps and descriptions.

1. Open konq.
- I see a window with no tab bar visible and no site displayed.

2. Select slashdot from my bookmarks.
- Gears start turning.

3. Create a new tab (before "Slashdot: News for nerds" appears in the title bar).
- I see a new tab (TAB2). TAB1 is loading slashdot.

4. Select Arstechnica from my bookmarks (after "Slashdot: News for nerds" appears in TAB1).
- Arstechnica loads in TAB1, leaving TAB2 blank.

This seems to be mostly repeatable. The trick when reproducing will be finding a site that takes more than a second to load (unless you've got very quick reflexes). I usually launch my bookmarks from folders in the Bookmark toolbar.

I confirm exactly the same behaviour, on KDE 3.1.3. I use bookmarks from the 
left pane: 
 
1. Middle click on one bookmark, the site1 loads in a background tab (tab2), 
tab1 is still empty. 
 
2. Normal click on a second bookmark, the site2 loads in the tab2 instead of 
the tab1. Sometimes, if the site1 takes long to load, it even overrides again 
the site2 in the tab2. The tab1 stays empty. 
 
It seems to be strongly correlated with loading time.
