freeze + segfault when filling a web form, probably JS related
(to be precise : when hitting tab to go to next field, which is monitored by a
JS function)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
filling the form, hitting tab to navigate between fields

the field just after "Numéro de téléphone GSM" is the faulty one
when hitting tab from the "GSM" field, the browser freeze
about 1 minute later, it segfaults

Actual Results:  
complete browser freeze, later, i have a segfault


Expected Results:  
beeing able to fill in the form without crashing mozilla :)

on this field, there is a JS code that show how many chars you're allowed to
type. (default = 1500 chars)

reproduced this bug with both mozilla and mozilla+epiphany

look at JS function "Compter" in the source, might be the faulty one

can you reproduce this with 1.7RC1 ?

I can't find any field that mentions "GSM" at the URL.

Stephane, does the problem still occur in Firefox 1.0 or Mozilla 1.7.x?

it seems it has moved to this URL :

either the JS script changed or the problem was fixed long ago in mozilla

i now use firefox 1.0 (final), and it works fine, closing

OK, thanks for testing, it works for me too.
We use WORKSFORME when we don't know exactly which code change that fixed it...
