209127 - Large Websieve table makes Mozilla go brain dead

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[mark]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030507

Websieve generated table caused very long rendering time and afterwards, Mozilla
wouldn't load new pages, open windows or quit. Had to kill it manually. As this
page is dynamically generated, I captured it in IE (which has no trouble
rendering) and posted it at the indicated URL. Although this is mediocre HTML,
it seems as though it shouldn't prevent Mozilla from subsequently operating.
Earlier versions of Mozilla seem to render it, but lock up. Latest beta doesn't
seem to finish rendering.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the URL: http://www.taom.com/bugzilla-websieve2.html
2. Try to open windows, link to URLs, quit. 


Actual Results:  
On 1.4b, rendering took forever and left a blank page. Could not subsequently
open any windows or go to any URLs. Could not quit even though the menubar
seemed to be operating.

Expected Results:  
A rendered page would have been nice, but either way Mozilla should not go brain
dead afterwards.
