Description
When we go into any of the main Trac pages using IE, such as the Welcome page or the Available Reports page, hitting Refresh in the browser will cause the Trac logos to disappear, and all the pretty color and font formatting to go away; the page then displays in an "older"(?) text-based format. Hitting Refresh again restores the logos and the formatting; Refresh again removes it, and so on…
We found that this only happened if we hadn't defined htdocs_location in trac.ini; when that is undefined, the trac logo (and css file?) are being pulled from trac.cgi/chrome; with it defined, it is pulling them directly from the htdocs directory. So maybe there's a bug in the code when it pulls images/css through trac.cgi/chrome?
Possibly related to #1402. Seen in 0.9.pre version.

You will almost certainly need to set the
htdocs_locationif you're using CGI. You're probably experiencing timeouts on this since it's trying to serve all the static resources through the CGI script. This requires the CGI to be loaded to handle all the separate requests for all the CSS and images on the page, which due to the poor performance of CGI can often lead to problems.The standalone tracd, FastCGI and mod_python will all offer far better performance than CGI and should be used if possible.
