Details 
In the testcase I'm about to attach:
1. type a character (or more) inside the textarea
2. invoke "select all" (command-A)
3. press the right arrow

Firefox will hang.

This regressed between 2005-04-03 and 2005-04-04. Possible candidates are bug
288117, bug 288888 and bug 56314.
Attached file testcase — 

    
    

    
  
The infinite loop is in nsFrame::GetFrameFromDirection.

The patch for bug 288789 fixes this.
Depends on: 288789
Flags: blocking1.8b4?

    
    

    
  
Reproduced on Windows -> All/All.

I also noticed that when this happens firefox is quickly consuming memory
resources, with the potential of bringing the entire system to a halt if it is
not killed on time.

Also confirmed on Mac.

Flags: blocking1.8b4? → blocking1.8b4+

    
    

    
  
Fixed by the patch to bug 288789. Verified using an hourly build from after the
patch was checked in.
