Originally reported on Google Code with ID 3384

I am having this issue with when testing a website. the details are as 
follows: 


OS: Windows 7 64 bit 
IE: v 8 
Selenium DotNET driver v 2.16.0 


Here are some of the observations: 
1. When this site is opend using the Webdriver it always shows 1 item 
remaining (downloading picture about:blank) in the IE status bar 
though the page is actually completely downloaded and ready for use. 
And subsequent operations (find element etc) throws a no response from 
server 


2. When the same site is opened directly(manually) in IE8 it does not 
demonstrate this behaviour 
If the cache is cleared then this works fine once as soon as he cache 
is cleared and fails the next time 


3. I have used fiddler to check for issues and there seems to be no 
issues in downloading resources exceppt for couple of 404 errors 


4. All required domains are in the trusted sites 


5. This issue does not appear in IE9 on windows 7 64 bit or IE8 on 
Windows XP 


I am at a loss and completely stuck because of this Please help 

Unfortunately I am not able to provide the HTML source at this point as I have to take
many permissions before I do it. I will try and provide one sooon

Found once information on the net, that this could be caused by some transparent images
used on the site.

The only work around I found so far is to disable downloading/showing images in IE8.


After doing that tests are running fine now.

I have the same issue.

There seems to be an issue with the IE standalone server (IEDriverServer.exe) because
I can use version 2.25.0 and the issue does not occur.  However, using the latest version
(2.32.3.0) and some what older version (2.29.0.0) the issue occurs.

Hi!

Could you provide public URL at which problem occurs?

Also please run IEdriver with TRACE log level and attach generated log file to the
issue.

As workaround you coud use something like (in python):
-------------------------------------
driver.set_load_timeout(15)
try:
  driver.get()
except Exception as e:
  pass
-------------------------------------
so after URL loading is timed out you ignore exception and continue work.

for this.

I have the same problem with "1 item remaining Downloading picture about: blank" (webdriver
versions 2.31, 32, 33, 34, 35 and IEDriverServer 2.31, 32, 33, 34, 45). Windows 7,
64-bit.
I can not use the workaround #7, because in my case this is a login page and it is
not loaded properly, webdriver can not continue to work with page and browser when
such "1 item remaining" issue takes place.
 Please help, any ideas? Because I can only disable images in IE8 and it helps.
