184352 - Mozilla becomes unresponsive while processing DHTML

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 187103

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Garrett Smith]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

The window can't be closed. Mozilla seems to be making the user wait while DHTML
processing is executing.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to url: http://3dhtml.netzministerium.de/examples/cube3d.html
2. watch beach ball spin a few sec
3. try to close the window.

Actual Results:  
Could not close window. Eventually, I used cmd-opt-esc.

Expected Results:  
DHTML processing should be done in a separate thread that yeilds periodically so
that user interaction is not robbed.

This is partially related to bug 123668 respectively to bug 129496 (which also
has a testcase of netzministerium.de).
Under win-xp pro, 1.1ghz,512ram trunk build 2002121108 the animation is really
choppy though Mozilla doesn't become unresponsive. Maybe this is MacOS related?

How can this be related to JS object allocation bugs if it's Mac only?

Look for platform specific problems with events and/or rendering first.
