139048 - <textarea> tag in xhtml documents hangs mozilla

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 81546

(Core :: XML, defect)

Description

[Jochen Eisinger]

Hi,

documents like penguin-breeder.org/test.xml (i.e. valid xhtml documents)
containing <textarea> tags make my browser hang: the page is loaded an can be
viewed with "View -> View Source", however it is not displayed (not even a blank
window or something, the whole display area appears to be frozen). Strangly,
after opening the "File" menu, the page suddendly gets displayed.

Same in the DOM Viewer, the page is not rendered until the body tag in the xml
tree view gets selected.

regards
-- jochen

Jochen, thanks for the bug report!  This sounds like "XHTML form documents fail
to appear intially in browser window" (which exhibits the exact symptoms you
describe).  Marking a duplicate of that one, but please reopen if you think this
is a different bug (and explain why you think that, of course.  :) ).

Thanks,
Boris

Right clicking on the URL makes the page lay out, therefore verifying.
