           Summary: geolocation fails on second and subsequent loads of
                    some pages (sometimes fails on first attempt)
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
               URL: http://maps.google.com/
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.6
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebCore Misc.
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: grahamperrin at gmail.com


Safari 5.0 (6533.16, r60820) on Mac OS X Snow Leopard

 1. visit <http://maps.google.com/>
 2. click the small circle above the zoom slider
 3. geolocation may work first time
 4. reload the page
 5. click the small circle above the zoom slider

= Bug = 
Geolocation seems to fail silently. 

= Notes =
Comparable behaviour is noted when testing against <http://status.leuksman.com/geodemo/>; in some situations geolocation will work first time, AFAICT in all situations geolocation will not work on second and subsequent attempts. 

Misbehaviour was first noted whilst working through <http://status.net/trac/ticket/2347#comment:8>, testing Mac OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard in multiple locations. 

Bug 40148 catches my eye, 

> Client-based Geolocation does not handle multiple simultaneous requests

— might that be relevant?
