Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[lueckert]

Attachment: crash_ff.html

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/44.0.2403.155 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

System: FF Version: 40.0.2, Windows 8.1 x64

Open the dropdown box in the attached HTML file or create it like so:

1) Create an empty html file
2) Add a reference to the jQuery Mobile release (this is important, without jQM  firefox does not crash):

<link href="https://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.4.2/jquery.mobile-1.4.2.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.3.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.4.2/jquery.mobile-1.4.2.js"></script>

3) Add a large dropdown list:

<select>
     [ Repeat 20'000 times ]
     <option value="hello">world</option>
     [ /Repeat ]
</select>




Actual results:

The Firefox window immediately disappears and the crash reporter is launched


Expected results:

Show the dropdown menu
