           Summary: Multiple tabs to same website blocks both tabs when 1
                    tab is waiting for response
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Page Loading
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: nathan at nrbservices.com


The behavior can be seen by opening 2 tabs to the same website. In one tab load
a server side script that doesn't return data for say 30 seconds. In the second
tab, open a webpage on the same site with multiple images, css, etc, but
nothing that would stall.

What you will see if that it appears some of the image loads on the second tab
are queued up in the connection from the first tab and they will not load until
the web page in the first tab returns. I would provide a sample website, but
this occurs for me on an internal corporate portal. If I run the same test in
Firefox, the second tab will load fine, but in the Webkit nightly and
production Safari, it will stall that second tab.
