210283 - 99% CPU usage crash/freeze on text-scale

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts, defect)

Description

[Car]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210

Mozilla freezes when atempting to use text zoom at http://www.buitenhoftv.nl, I
would attempt to isolate the html, javascript, css, comments, text or fonts
involved but there`s just to much code for this text + photo + 3 links page.

Workaround: dont visit the site.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open http://www.buitenhoftv.nl
2. Select View -> text-zoom -> <something>
3. Open the windows taskmanager and watch the CPU usage graph jump to 100%...
and stay that way

Actual Results:  
Mozilla freezes, and windows starts sugesting I kill it instead of keeping
waiting (how typical)

Expected Results:  
I expected Mozilla to bake me a pie, organize a party, and invite all the
friends in my personal addres book over (Ie everybody with a home addres set?).
Also mozilla should have given a "hire stripper? yes/no" dialog.... just like
netpositive, why can`t mozilla be more like netpositive?

The source is full of javascript resizing and popup stuff, I have supression
enabled for most of that. Also these scripts are full of browserchecks. My gut
feeling is that one of these scripts ends up in a loop.

If you mean the Control ++/+- option (dont have the option you mentioned becasse
im using firebird), it works fine for me...

4 months already? time flies when your enjoying your browser. 1.4 RC2 works
without a glitch (in this case), 1.3 seams like only yesterday. At this rate you
people have to be carefull not to finish mozilla to soon ;-)

Now lets see if I can bug microsoft into doing something about IE 5.5.

Sorry to bother you, Thanks for the browser.
