Description

[David Grant]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

When I hit Ctrl+A and right click on the selected text in a file that has TONS
of horizontal characters, the browser freezes and eats CPU.

The linked example has something like 2K in the first row of text.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Pull up http://seizethedave.com/etc/ff-bug.js
2. Press Ctrl+A.
3. Right-click the selected text.
4. Freezeville
Actual Results:  
FF eats up 50% of processor under hyperthreading, might be 100% w/out
Hyperthreading.  Have to kill process and re-launch.

Expected Results:  
When I right click, it should pop up the normal right-click window.

This seems to be fixed in FF1.5b2.

do you still see this problem using Firefox 3 and a clean profile?
If you do, please comment.
If you do not, please close with resolution set to WORKSFORME.
