Bug 327362 setUrl() call navigates to about:blank prior to real url breaks IEWebHistory
Reported: 2010-10-08 14:54:52 | Status: resolved fixed

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
