(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Peter Aylett]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.9) Gecko/20050711 Firefox/1.0.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.9) Gecko/20050711 Firefox/1.0.5

When using DOMParser.parseFromString, the DOM returned only contains the first
4096 characters of TEXT nodes.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
var text = '';
for (var i=0; i<500; ++i)
	text += '1234567890';
text += '';
alert(text.length);

var xml = '<bigtext>' + text + '</bigtext>';
var parser = new DOMParser();
var dom = parser.parseFromString(xml, "text/xml");
text = dom.documentElement.firstChild.nodeValue;
alert(text.length);


Actual Results:  
First alert shows 5000
Second alert shows 4096

Expected Results:  
First alert shows 5000
Second alert shows 5000
