In the testcase I'm about to attach: 1. type a character (or more) inside the textarea 2. invoke "select all" (command-A) 3. press the right arrow Firefox will hang. This regressed between 2005-04-03 and 2005-04-04. Possible candidates are bug 288117, bug 288888 and bug 56314.
Attached file testcase
The infinite loop is in nsFrame::GetFrameFromDirection. The patch for bug 288789 fixes this.
Depends on: 288789
Flags: blocking1.8b4?
Reproduced on Windows -> All/All. I also noticed that when this happens firefox is quickly consuming memory resources, with the potential of bringing the entire system to a halt if it is not killed on time.
OS: MacOS X → All
Hardware: Macintosh → All
Also confirmed on Mac. Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050728 Firefox/1.0+
Flags: blocking1.8b4? → blocking1.8b4+
Fixed by the patch to bug 288789. Verified using an hourly build from after the patch was checked in.
