Details

(Whiteboard: [nsbeta3-]) 

<deck id="...">
  <html>&mylabel;</html>
  <html>&mylabel;</html>
  <html>&mylabel;</html>
</deck>

gives an infinite loop putting out on the console

[@0x9295aa4] Box id='mailSendFormatExplanation' ###!!! ASSERTION: Infinite loop!
Someone won't stop growing!!: 'passes < 10', file nsStackLayout.cpp, line 261
###!!! Break: at file nsStackLayout.cpp, line 261

For a testcase, remove the <box>es around <html>s in
mailnews/compose/resources/content/askSendFormat.xul.

Say, Ben. I can't reproduce this with Jul 05 builds (linux/win32/mac), 
using a simple case like:

<?xml version="1.0"?> 
<window xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"
        xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"
        class="dialog"
        align="vertical"> 
<deck id="foo">
  <html style="border:1px solid blue;">mylabel 1 </html>
  <html style="border:1px solid green;">mylabel 2 </html>
  <html style="border:1px solid red;">mylabel 3 </html>
</deck>
</window>

... and there are no <html> elements in askSendFormat.xul.

Quite possible. Never tried. It does happen in my case, and I already lost
enough time (one full day) due to this bug. Sorry.

> (Wrong file? I'm blind? Both?).

No, I forgot to say that the code is not yet checked in, sorry. Get the patch
in/for bug 38433.

The best way to fix this bug is to try to simplify your case down to the real
problem. It seems that html in a deck does work. It would very helpful to me if
you could take a stab at making a stand alone test case. Something I can bring
up in viewer and test.
