136837 - when textarea too big, mozilla drops content

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Ronan SALMON]

Hi,

I'm using squirrelmail. When I receive the news letter from freshmeat.net, the
size of the email is usually 70K. If I reply/forward the email, squirrelmail
creates a textarea control and copies everything in it. It works fine until I
click send : The receipient receives an empty email and mozilla stay still on
the compose page.

Now this is happening using mozilla 0.9.9.
I tried with netscape 4.x and IE, and this problem doesn't occur.

Thanks, Ronan.

depending on how it "copies everything in it": possible dup of bug 56219

Attachment: Here the content of the compose page.

It's not a dup of bug 56219.


Thanks, Ronan.

I wrote a simple textarea test and tried submitting 100k of text.
I see the bug in 0.99 -- the form post just hangs.
However, with rc1 on Mac OS9, Mac OSX, and Win98 it works, so I suspect this got
fixed.

Since this bug was reported, a newer version of Mozilla (1.0 RC1) has been
released. Reporter (Ronan), please can you check to see whether this
bug is still present in a recent build (Moz1-RC1 or a new nightly build). If
this bug does not occur please can you resolve it worksforme.
