I've noticed many times recently that sometimes, when I double-click the hotlist entry for Slashdot, the window opens, the throbber goes round, but nothing arrives, nor does it time out. When this happens, if I click stop, put the caret in the URL bar and press Return, the page is fetched.

Does anyone else see the same symptoms? This is on an Iyonix, RO 5.22, 512 MiB RAM, and with various recent CI versions (I check for a new CI version daily) over at least 2 weeks.

I am aware that Slashdot has had some problems recently (hardware failure), though I'd have thought they would be over by now.

I haven't noticed any other site show these symptoms. It doesn't happen every time.

Just to bring this to a close, from my POV anyway...

I didn't want to raise a bug report until I had something more substantial for the developers to work on - after all, the symptoms could have been caused by a local problem. However, more recent builds haven't exhibited the problem at all.

However, more recent >> builds haven't exhibited the problem at all. And what do you know - today I'm seeing the problem again. There's a window open on Slashdot as I type this - it's been open a while now; no action, no timeout either. The throbber is still throbbing. I'll have to raise a bug report. I just wish I could in some way be more specific. Still, a site that does it fairly consistently is a good start.
