Attached video Screencast.ogv
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0
Build ID: 20160319124722

Steps to reproduce:

1. View source code on GitHub
2. Select some code
3. Drag it


Actual results:

Cursor state switches, Firefox freezes completely, 100 % CPU utilization


Expected results:

No freeze
Example link from the screencast:
https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev/blob/master/widget/ContentCache.cpp
Severity: normal → major
OS: Unspecified → Linux
Hardware: Unspecified → x86_64
Firefox can be unresponsive for minutes. Killing the process is the only option in this case (like in the screencast).

The bug occurs also with Firefox 46 and a clean profile.

Mats, what do you think?

The root of the problem is that the common ancestor for each range
is the table-group and PresShell::CreateRangePaintInfo creates
a display list for the frame of the common ancestor, which includes
pretty much the entire page here.  And we have one range per selected
line because all the <td>line number</td> have -moz-user-select:none.

Fixing bug 1245883 might also help some here.
Depends on: 1245883
Attached file range
FTR, here's a typical range.  It ends in the white-space before the <td>
on the next line.
(There's also an unrelated bug in the mouse cursor we create from the selection -
I filed this as bug 1265249.)

I don't remember the display list setup well enough to review this effectively.  Timothy, can you take a look?

Shouldn't we move the BuildDisplayListForNode(startParent) call to before the for loop?

This will probably mean we can get into even weirder situations building displaylists and painting here than we could before. But we should probably just deal with those if they come up.

Yes, I did so.  Good catch.
