150581 - Memory usage bloats when there is a large number of results for the search tab of the sidebar

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 120712

(SeaMonkey :: Sidebar, defect)

Description

[Kevin Lin]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530
BuildID:    2002053012

Memory usage increases dramatically when the search tab of the sidebar parses a
large amount of search results from the displayed page.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure that the sidebar is open and the Search tab is selected.
2. Go to bugzilla front page and query for 'bookmark'.  The URL provided does
the same thing.

Actual Results:  As displayed by the Windows Task Manager, my mozilla VM usage
increases from around 20mb to 70mb.

Expected Results:  The memory bloat not to occur.

The memory bloat does not occur if the sidebar is closed.  The search tab also
fails to display all of the entries on the page, stopping at around a quarter of
the number of results.
