180003 - locks up if I expand & contract items in certificate details window

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Security: UI, defect)

Description

[Jim Carlson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

First I go to a secure website (I tried https://www.equifax.ca/), then open Page
Info->Security (by clicking on the lock icon in the lower-right).  Next I click
the View button, which brings up the Certificate Viewer.  Next I click the
Details tab,  expand the Validity item under Certificate Fields, and select Not
Before.  Finally, I contract the Validity item by clicking the arrow icon.  This
will lock up my computer, maxing out my CPU usage.  (I don't know if this
terminates -- I've let it go for about 2 minutes before killing the process via
Task Manager.)

If this exact sequence doesn't get the bug for you, try monkeying around with 
those tree nodes in the Certificate Fields box.  I've replicated this numerous
times, with various sequences of action.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Oops -- look at details.
Actual Results:  
lock up, CPU usage = 100% for some indefinite period of time

As of Dec. 3, this is fixed in the trunk build, but not the branch build.

Thanks, John. I think this is a dupe. We had fixed this in the past, but the fix
probably did not land on the 1.0 branch.

Dupe of bug 180033. Should this be checked into the branch?

I believe we have fixed this long ago, but I can't find the bug at the moment.
