141823 - Right click context menu hangs if multiple lines of text are selected.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 141455

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Don Eitner]

In Mozilla nightly build 2002050108 for OS/2 I can almost always reproduce a
problem when selecting multiple lines of text from the browser window (a normal
HTML P tag followed by a long string of words which wrap to multiple lines in
the display) and then clicking my right mouse button hangs Mozilla.  In fact it
hangs my OS/2 input queue, forcing me to kill the Mozilla process (with
CTRL-ESC) in order to regain control of the system.  This problem did not exist
in build 20020425.

The problem seems to occur most often when the selected text spans or wraps to
multiple lines -- not 100% of the time but about 90% of the time in my testing.

I am attempting to access the right mouse button context menu for the purpose of
copying the selected text to the system clipboard.  In fact, right on this page
just below this Description text field is a string of text showing my Mozilla
build -- it is incorrect (shows build 20020403).  I attempted to select and copy
that to the clipboard and my browser hung.  I had to kill it, reopen it, then
return here to submit this bug report.
