Has anyone in here tested out the offline mode from the file menu? I just tried it a bit (running 0.9 RC1 on Win XP SP2) and I think it is sometimes behaving quite strange (well, buggy, but it's still a nice addition to K-M).

[b]1.)[/b] If offline is checked and I open a page that is not cached I get a nice XUL error page (I have XUL error pages enabled) telling me that the page is not available offline and what I could do. So far so great.

So I do what the page says and uncheck offline, erm, well ..., I try to, but the check mark doesn't disappear. But it will disappear the second time I uncheck offline mode. In fact *every* page load (even a reload of a cached page) while in offline mode will lead to this state (= K-M requires double-unchecking later on to get back into online mode).

[b]2.)[/b]If I check offline while a page is loading the loading stalls, but it doesn't stop. The page continues to load endlessly (without any progress of course). Might be okay, but probably not what a user expects (that would probably be cancelling loading and a partial display and/or a error message).

[b]3.)[/b] Minor thing: If K-M is closed in *offline* mode it will be in *online* mode again when it is started. Depending on what you expect that's either a bug or nice. ;-) I'm tending to nice after thinking a bit about it. It's a browser after all. <g> So, let's skip 3.)

[b]4.)[/b]I'm not sure if it matters if layers are enabled for the following bug. I only tested with *disabled layers*.

Please follow carefully. :-)

- Exit K-M and open it again (=> window1) [or leave only one window open...]
 - Now check offline in window1.
 - Open a new window (=> window2).
(- Notice that offline is still checked in window2 and window1.)
 - Close window1(!).
(- Notice that offline mode is still checked in - the remaining - window2.)
 - Now open a new window (=> window3).
 => Oops, offline mode will be *unchecked*. Bug.
 => Now try to load a page that's not in the cache. You'll get an error message - K-M is still in offline mode, although the menu isn't checked anymore. Bug.
 => At this point you'll have to click offline *three* times to get back into online mode (or just exit and restart the browser).

That's what I noticed so far after a few minutes of testing.[/quote]
