Only the individual articles do. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open http://portal.omroep.nl/irak/ 2.Open an article on that site, e.g. http://www2.omroep.nl/nos/irak/pagina/nieuws/maart/2803_basra.html 3.Use the text zoom, either with the "view" - "text zoom" menu or with Control-mouse-wheel 4. The browser hangs Actual Results: The browser hangs. I see no screen updates in the browser window, the mouse cursor does not move, no rections to keyboard. Expected Results: The browser should not hang. If the page is invalid HTML, the browser should not hang. An error message would be nice. I tried changing "allow documents to use other fonts" in preferences - appearance - fonts would help, but I get the same results. If I change this with the offending site opened, the browser hangs. I.e. it hangs when I change the setting, I do not change the text zoom again. I have saved 2 articles that show the problem, in case the site changes. The problem occurs on the saved copies. I can mail them if neccessary. Bugs 175711, 191155 and 197958 look similar, but I do not think that this bug is a duplicate. I ran http://www2.omroep.nl/nos/irak/pagina/nieuws/maart/2803_basra.html through the W3C validator at http://validator.w3.org/detailed.html with this result: [QUOTE] Fatal Error: No DOCTYPE specified! I could not parse this document, because it does not include a DOCTYPE Declaration. A DOCTYPE Declaration is mandatory for most current markup languages and without such a declaration it is impossible to validate this document. You should place a DOCTYPE declaration as the very first thing in your HTML document. For example, for a typical XHTML 1.0 document: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> <head> <title>Title</title> </head> <body> <!-- ... body of document ... --> </body> </html> [/QUOTE]
