Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 176305

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect, P4)

Description

[Stefan A. Möller]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

I've added

marquee {
  -moz-binding: none !important;
  display: block !important;
  overflow: auto !important;
}

to my userContent.css in order to avoid marquee animation.
That makes Mozilla freeze on http://www.eurotv.de/acompany.htm.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Open the following testcase. (No need to modify your userContent.css before.
I've included those particular settings in that testcase.)
Actual Results:  
The page does not show up, CPU load is almost 100%, and Mozilla's user interface
freezes. In addition the Windows version of Mozilla is eating up more and more
memory.


I can reproduce this with Mozilla 1.2.1/Windows and Phoenix 0.4/Linux, too.
But there is no such problem with Mozilla 1.1a/Linux.

dupe of "overflow:auto applied to option creates an infinite loop"
