[Wtr-general] click() in infinite loop while working with orkut

[Manish Sapariya]

Hi,

Please find attached a script to extract scrap information from orkut
user. What I am seeing is that when I do click on submit button, the
click call never returns. The tracing of the calls reveals that click
function call is spinning because @ie.busy status never becoming false.

I think the problem is in the OLE interface of ie which goes havoc when
dealing with orkut. I would appreciate any pointers about how can I go
step further in debugging.

I have a workaround now by using timeout but this is very naive solution.
I would also appreciate if I can have some patch in watir code so that
I need not have timeout around every click call. (The attached script has
work around code commented.)

If needed I can send out my analysis using tracing.

Environment: Watir 1.5

Thanks and Regards,
Manish
