           Summary: Wrong window size/position for 'target' links after
                    JavaScript size/position change
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525.x (Safari 3.2)
          Platform: Macintosh PowerPC
               URL: http://links.open.ac.uk/window/
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: n.hillyer at open.ac.uk


I have tested with Safari Version 3.2.1 (5525.27.1) and iCab 4.5.0 on a 733 MHz
G4 with OS X 10.5.6 but I doubt that it is restricted to this
hardware/software.

WebKit has an annoying habit of using an earlier window size and position for
target=_blank etc links following a JavaScript change of size or position.

The page at http://links.open.ac.uk/ uses <base target="_blank"> but once
JavaScript has been used to alter window size or position Sari and iCab stop
inheriting size/position for its links. Safari appears to use window parameters
from an earlier 'session'. This is totally repeatable.

To test go to javascript:moveTo(10,10);resizeTo(1000,700) and then hit one of
the links at http://links.open.ac.uk/ - restart the browser and try the same
link again without first using JavaScript to position or resize the window.

Facilities and information at the following may be helpful:
