134051 - impossible to submit page - tries forever

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 130301

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[René Seindal]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.0 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020313
BuildID:    0.9.9 / debian build

When editing very long pages on wikipedia.com it is sometimes impossible to
submit the edited page.  When one hits the Save or Preview button, the browser
just sits there.  The submit never finishes.  It doesn't look like it sends the
text.

The page mentioned above is a 20k text.

It happens in Mozilla 0.9.9/debian and in Galeon 1.2 (embeds the same).


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Wikipedia:Bug_reports&action=edit
2. Make some change
3. Hit "Preview" and watch it stall.

Actual Results:  Nothing.

Expected Results:  The preview page, i.e., the same form with a preview of the
text below.  

I have only seen it on wikipedia.

Just so we don't have people trashing the wikipedia's bug reports page with
tests, here's a duplicate of another edit page from the site that shows the same
behavior: http://leuksman.com/misc/submitproblem.php

If the form submission is successful (as it is with, e.g., Konqueror 2.9.2), it
just prints out the received text. If not, you'll see it sit there and wait...
I'll try to cut it down to a minimal test case as well.
