Cannot view security information where page contains content from non-secure source

[Lee Maguire]

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

If I view a site over https which contains content coming from a non-secure site I get the warning dialogue, the "broken security" icon, and the address bar is no longer yellow. Which is expected.

However, acknowledging that the page is insecure, if I want to check the SSL details of the base page I cannot - clicking the security icon in the bottom left does nothing, and the option under view is greyed out. In order to get a certificate information dialog up I need to hunt around for something that will load without insecure content.

If caveats need to be repeated on the security info box then so be it, but this seems slightly broken as is right now.

Thank you for your bug, do you have some easy steps or a website example to trigger the bug?

[Lee Maguire (leemaguire)]

The thing that triggered it was an http google-analytics javascript call on an https page. (I can't give the URL I'm afraid)

But you can reproduce it by dropping the following into any https-delivered page:

<script src="http://www.example.com/example.js" type="text/javascript">

Unconfirming for now, looks like an upstream bug to send to bugzilla.gnome.org with a testcase

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could you try if that's still an issue in hardy or intrepid?
