User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030314

Loading the png image referenced above locks up X11 completely, mouse cursor is
still movable, everything else is frozen, X-server needs to be restarted. This
only happens when automatic image resizing is enabled.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Ensure that automatic image resizing is enabled, if not enable it and restart
Mozilla
2. Load file mozilla-lockup-autoresize.png (from web or from disk)


Actual Results:  
X11 locks up

Expected Results:  
Display resized image

This happens with xft and gtk2 packages from /Red_Hat_8x_RPMS on RedHat 8.0 with
XFree86-4.2.0-72 and NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4191

[R.K.Aa.]

what kind of file is a .danger file? Please give it a name the servers know.

Comment 3

[Jörg Mensmann]

It is a .png file of course, I added .danger to prevent users from accidently
locking up their machines.

WFM, linux GTK2 build ID 20030321. I don't have an NVIDIA card; this might be
another NVIDIA-specific issue.

Comment 5

[R.K.Aa.]

current trunk CVS, Linux, not Gtk2/Xft: the image loads fine on a Nvidia card,
NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123

Comment 6

[Jörg Mensmann]

Lockup also happens with mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.3.tar.gz.
No problem with XFree86's 'nv' driver, only with NVIDIA's 'nvidia' driver.

Attachment: Messed up picture with NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123

No lockup with NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123, instead I get a partly messed up resized
image. Ctrl-R fixes this, doing a Shift-Ctrl-R reload messes it up again.

Have same problem. X also locks up when loading websites like this, dutch site.
I presume it has a large picture. 

http://www.sporenplan.nl/html_nl/sporenplan/ns/ns_nummer/hrp-asd.html

Problem is not depending on "automatic resizing": It has the problem having auto
resizing on AND off.

Somewhere in the loading/rendering proces something hicks up and X is running at
a 99%-100% CPU capacity. It seems that it is not answering the keybord. But the
machine is answering to the network so via a remote console I can kill X and
restart an X session.

This problem gets annoying because it hinders my surfing a great deal and
renders my system instable which a problem for my non-computer experts at home. 

Other browser (opera) don't have this problem.

With NVIDIA Driver 1.0-4349 the problem seems to be fixed, the image is resized
correctly, no crashes. 

Also I can't reproduce the problem Pieter mentions with this driver version.

Comment 12

[Pieter Wolters]

I changed to NVIDIA Driver 1.0-4349 and have had no crashes on the site I
mentioned and on some other site
http://marketing.openoffice.org/graphics/logos/ooo-1.0-logo-2col-trans.png. This
is also a big PNG. So the error seems (seemed) to be a driver error.
