Steps to reproduce:
1. You must use Flash 9.0.60.235 with IE6 on Windows XP.
2. Create a new Flex project and a flex application with a TabNavigator.
3. Run the application.
4. Close the browser, navigate away from the application or click refresh.
Actual Results:
A Javascript popup occurs stating:
Line: 1
Char: 77
Error: Expected ')'
Code: 0
Expected Results:
The browser should close or navigate away as normal.
Workaround (if any):
These are comments from Peter Dehaan at Adobe, who I've corresponded with:
I think it's a history management/deep linking issue, but would you mind filing a bug at
http://bugs.adobe.com/flex/ and we can investigate further on our end. It was actually a bit hard to track down as I had to go into my IE settings and turn on the "bother me with every little JavaScript error/warning" check box. Oddly, it doesn't reproduce on my clean IE7/Vista system.
but it seems i can't repro the issue on the same machine if i update to the latest internal engineering drop of Flex Builder and Flash Player (11/2 Eng Drop w/ WIN 9,0,96,0)
