I had an SL2 application I've just converted to SL3.
Everything was going smoothly except when I exited the application in one of the pages. I uploaded the application here .
to reproduce:
move into the Port. Manager (button in left panel),
stay there for about 10 sec (important), then try to close the tab / browser. It will crash on both IE8 and Firefox.
needless to say I have no idea what might cause the problem.
In SL2 it worked just fine (second signature link, SL2 version is only in hebrew).
Thanks

Thanks for the report - I am investigating.
Would it be possible to send me a repro project with your source code? That would help tremendously to get to the bottom of the bug and to find a way to change your app to prevent this for now. Please feel free to contact me me off-list (swick at microsoft.com).
Thanks!

Hi Stefan,
I've sent you an email through your blog contact page with a link to the repro. source-code project.
Thanks,
Netanel

I'm getting same error, any update? What I think is going on is if a async request is still in progress and the user closes or navigates away, this is causing browser to crash.

Stefan Wick told me they had an idea of what caused the problem and that they were fixing it for a service release. (I don't know if it is out yet).
What specifically caused the problem for me was the Accordion control, I don't know what exactly but removing it solved the crash.

Hi Illuminaty,
Thank for response. In my case I have an autocomplete combobox control given from toolkit examples inside an accordion item control. I'm not sure if the accordion is the cause but SL crashes IE8 on application exit with probability about 50%. Another guess is incompleted asyn web service call, but I've never been able to reproduce the isuue with web service call only.

Now that I recall that's exactly what I had, an autocompletebox inside an accordion. About the probability: try staying on that page for more than 10 secs. In my case that caused 100% crashes. About the async, I'm pretty sure mine had no async calls on time of crash.
I don't think you have any choice at the moment but to remove the accordion or at least the auocomplete from it.

Right. I've got rid of the accordion control and this solved the problem.

Is there any workaround or a hotfix?
