Bug 66942 [browser] F5 blanks out the Browser widget when setText used
Reported: 2004-06-14 10:09:56 | Status: resolved fixed

Press F5 inside the Intro page in Eclipse . IE refreshes the URL (about:blank) - causing a blank page to be displayed. setText is used to render html in memory. We should probably block default IE accelerators when URL is about:blank so that the content of setText is not cleared when the user presses F5.
