Comment #4 on issue 796 by bobmlove: [Safari] When opening a page in
background, gears doesn't initialize
http://code.google.com/p/gears/issues/detail?id=796
This is still happening on Safari 4 with latest Gears:
0.5.22.0;official;opt;osx;safari
Safari 4.0.1 (5530.18) on OS X 10.5.7 i386
You can reproduce it quite easily. Open the following URL by clicking it,
and it loads fine. Open it with cmd-
click to put it in a new tab, and Gears fails to init
with "'google.gears.factory.create' [undefined] is not a
function."
http://code.google.com/apis/gears/samples/hello_world_database.html
It seems entirely contingent on whether the tab is viewable when the
factory object is created. Open the link
in a new window, and it works fine. I've also had it work when I open it in
a new tab and immediately ctrl-w
the current tab, so that the new tab is immediately visible. That is, its
not the tab, but the lack of visibility.
This is a major issue, as tabbed browsers tend to encourage
open-in-a-new-tab.
