Hi,
Thanks alot for your reply.
I tried the same scenario with the latest version of GWT and the same
result!!

I also tried to cancel the request in the window close listener. But,
this is not the solution as it seems that the callback is invoked
first (or in a separate thread).

In the callback, in case of errors, I display a MessageBox with the
error message to the user. This is fine in the normal situation but
when I am leaving the page it is weired that a MessageBox appears then
the page is refreshed!

The only hope is to find a way inside the callback to know that I am
leaving the page! and as a result disable the MessageBox.

any idea?
