1044355 - SVG path getTotalLength hangs for some path with two cubic bezier segments

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: SVG, defect)

Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/36.0.1985.125 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

I tried to calculate the path lengths using getTotalLength() for three paths:

    <path id="path1" d="M229.99999999999994,196.66666666666666C229.99999999999997,213.33333333333331,229.99999999999997,246.66666666666666,241.66666666666663,263.3333333333333" stroke="black" fill="none"/>
    <path id="path2" d="M241.66666666666663,263.3333333333333C253.33333333333331,280,276.66666666666663,280,288.3333333333333,280" stroke="black" fill="none"/>
    <path id="path3" d="M229.99999999999994,196.66666666666666C229.99999999999997,213.33333333333331,229.99999999999997,246.66666666666666,241.66666666666663,263.3333333333333C253.33333333333331,280,276.66666666666663,280,288.3333333333333,280" stroke="black" fill="none"/>

You can try this example at http://bl.ocks.org/hnakamur/bc26a6fa7d7b8d9dc795


Actual results:

Firefox hangs for calculating totalPathLength() for '#path3'.

Also, Firefox prints wrong lengths for '#path1' and '#path2'.
path1.length 0 (Bug 950549)
path2.length 123295481856 (Bug 984796)
You can try this example at http://bl.ocks.org/hnakamur/f203e1cb6adedb56eca8

I reproduced this bug with Firefox 31.0 and Firefox Nightly 34.0a1 (2014-07-25) on OS X 10.8.5


Expected results:

Firefox should not hang. Firefox should print the correct results of getTotalLength() to the console.

[Robert Longson [:longsonr]]

Trunk doesn't hang for me on Windows, it just prints the numbers I expect. Could be mac only of course.

> Could be mac only of course.
Couldn't also reproduce on OS X 10.9.4, 34.0a1 (2014-08-04).
Please check if the issue occurs using Firefox in safe mode (with your addons disabled):

And on a new, empty profile:

In Safe Mode, Firefox 31.0, OS X 10.8.5

Values of path1 and path2 are wrong again, however Firefox does not hang this time. Here is log output.

Now I noticed one thing unusual. I installed Firefox with homebrew cask, so Firefox is installed at ~/Application/Firefox instead of /Application/Firefox.

I downloaded Firefox from https://www.mozilla.org/ja/firefox/new/, installed it to /Application/Firefx and tried again.

Comment 4

[Hiroaki Nakamura]

I tried tests on another machine, MacBook Pro 2012, OS X 10.9.4


Normal mode, Homebrew Firefox 31.0
-> hangs

Safe mode, Homebrew Firefox 31.0
-> hangs

Empty profile, Homebrew Firefox 31.0
-> hangs



Normal mode, Firefox 31.0 from https://www.mozilla.org/ja/firefox/new/
-> hangs

Safe mode, Firefox 31.0 from https://www.mozilla.org/ja/firefox/new/
-> hangs

Empty profile, Firefox 31.0 from https://www.mozilla.org/ja/firefox/new/
-> hangs

On this machine, Firefox hangs in all 6 patterns.

Comment 5

[Liz Henry (:lizzard) (relman/hg->git project)]

Hangs for me in Nightly with a new profile, on MacOSX 10.8.5.

Comment 6

[infos26]

Hangs for me either... The same happens for getPointAtLength().
Mac OS X 10.9.4
Firefox 32.0.1

Comment 7

[infos26]

the same in Firefox 32.0.2

Comment 8

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

Likely the same issue as bug 1066556.

Comment 9

[infos26]

and... the same in Firefox 32.0.3
good job...

Comment 10

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

@infos26: Please don't add comments like comment 7 and comment 9. This bug is already known to affect Firefox 31 and newer.

Hopefully someone on the graphics and/or SVG teams can take a look at this soon; in the meantime, weekly "bug still exists" comments aren't helpful, and just end up cluttering up the bug-page and making it harder to follow.

Comment 11

[B. Dahse]

No longer applies to me in Ubuntu 15.10 with FF 45.0.1. The values produces by the example in comment 0 seem correct now (values very close to Chrome and Safari, no hanging).
