Page fails to render when navigated to while Windows is locked.
I have a single page webapp with an inactivity timer that calls window.location.replace when there is no activity for a period of time. If this happens while Windows is locked, the new url is called (it hits the server), the address bar is updated correctly but the page that is displayed is still the old one.
The app is built in GWT 2.5.1
I've tried window.location.assign as well.

Have you tried just editing the window.location directly?
e.g: window.location = 'https://mozilla.org';
+ You're currently Firefox 17 as 'Question Details' says, what about Firefox 21? same?
window.location = '....'; fails even worse. It doesn't work as expected even when the workstation is unlocked. I tried window.location.href as well. I'm using Firefox 17 as it is the ESR version.
The problem with window.location is a GWT issue. Using the correct reference $wnd.location it works as my original post. Fine when workstation unlocked, page not rendered when locked.
Moving the mouse up over the address bar causes the page to render.
It's like firefox has gone "my window isn't visible so I won't update it" and when something triggers a re-paint, like moving the mouse over some chrome, it repaints everything correctly
