A DESCRIPTION OF THE REGRESSION :
Category: java_plugin:other
When an applet is embedded on a html page and this html page is being reloaded (via HTML meta-redirect) while the plugin is still waiting for user input (such as accepting a hostname mismatch warning or selecting a ssl client certificate) the browser freezes.
REPRODUCIBLE TESTCASE OR STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1) Open the website with the applet: https://www.axian.de/test/forwardbug/applet.html
2) Wait for at least 15 sec (count to 100), then confirm the security warning.
REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
