174904 - When using the "Find in This Page..." CTRL-F, the browser may crash.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 174473

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Guillaume Jacques]

When using the Find option "Find in This Page..." CTRL-F, the browser crash and
the processor goes high(near 100%).

The error is intermittent and usually occur on heavy(lots of code) html pages.

Browser: Mozilla 1.2a, Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2a)
Gecko/20020910 (RedHat 8.0,Gnome,kernel 2.4.18-14)

There is a possibility that the error can be reproduced on other Mozilla
products of the same version(eg:mail).

resetting fields that should only be set by the person writing code to fix this
or by someone who pays them.

Is this a crash or a hang we're talking about?

Comment 2

Mail from Guillaume Jacques (in the future, please just comment on the bug):

When the error happen, Mozilla does not respond. It is possible to move 
the windows(they stay available), but I have to end the process(not a 
kill) to close the window. The inside of the window is gray, and there 
is no more respond from Mozilla back to me.
