Description

Once in a while we need to reload the application ( document ) because a part of it is dynamic - downloaded from a server and injected into the app.

The problem is that sometimes and quite often, our app won't be able to compete its initialization since requestFileSystem neither succeeds nor fails, it just hangs there. This happens after location.reload(). It seems like some sort of timing issue and the number of attempts does not actually matter.

I'll include a slightly modified "hello world" app that should show the problem.

This doesn't seem to affect iOS.
