Bug#504984: JavaScript: window.resizeTo() gets applied to independently opened subsequent pages too

[Micha Lenk]

Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 2.22.3-5
Severity: normal

Hi,

On a page containing the JavaScript code fragment window.resizeTo(...) the
window resizing gets applied to subsequently opened pages too. For instance
if you open the attached sample page containing the JavaScript fragment
mentioned above the window (pane) shrinks to 800x730 px². This is okay,
because it's somehow what the author wants.

But if you open now a completely unrelated page (for instance Google)
by typing its address in the address box, this 'subsequent' page 
has also a resized window pane. It opens in something like an IFRAME
not using the entire space available provided by the surrounding window.
This is a bug.
