Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 141818

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[Florian Effenberger]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021126

If I open the website http://aginternet:[e-mail],
Mozilla just crashed. Had same behaviour with 1.2 alpha.

The website worked before. After the author did something with CSS, as far as I
know, things got worse. Opera and Internet Explorer work just fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://aginternet:[e-mail]

Actual Results:  
Mozilla freezes.

Expected Results:  
Display the page.

Florian, do you mean a hang (Mozilla freezes and does not accept any input) or a
crasher (Mozilla is closed down)?

Comment 2

[Michael Lefevre]

Florian means a hang - I see the same thing with 1.2 on win2k.

also hangs with javascript turned off, so it's not that. I'll see if I can
figure it out any better...

It freezes. I have to kill it using Windows' task manager.

Attachment: section of page that causes the hang

this seems to be the bit of page that hangs mozilla

Comment 5

[Florian Effenberger]

Thanks for the fast reply. Do you know which is the real problem? As the HTML
seems to be quite okay, I think its the CSS?

Comment 6

[Michael Lefevre]

I don't think it's the CSS - it still hangs for me with the stylesheet link
removed. try clicking the attachment to this bug that I uploaded (it has no
stylesheet, only a couple of styles defined in the HTML) and see if that freezes
for you too?

need to edit that attachment into a minimal testcase to narrow down the problem
better...

[Florian Effenberger]

It hangs for me as well. Looking forward to your result ;-)

Comment 8

[Michael Lefevre]

figured it out... page contains a table with <td rowspan="9999999">, removing
that makes it work ok.

reassigning, and then i'll attach a testcase...

Comment 9

[Michael Lefevre]

actually, forget that - I found an existing report of this bug. resolving as a
duplicate...
