Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Sy Ali]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.7

Firefox crashes if I paste text that includes tabs into an edit field, and then edit that text.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get to an edit box
2. Paste some text which includes tabs
3. Cursor left and right through this text, typing or cutting-and-pasting.

Actual Results:  
At some point Firefox will bomb out, with no error message.

Expected Results:  
Editing should continue as normal.

I don't have talkback enabled on my build.  I'd be willing to experiment and report in more detail if this is not easily reproducable by others.

I haven't tried to reproduce this in safe mode yet.  I'll do that if asked: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode

Could you try Firefox1.5?

Comment 3

[Sy Ali]

Yes, I'll do that this evening/weekend.  I didn't realise 1.5 was out.. it's not available with the mainstream packages for my distro yet.

It looks like I can't reproduce this in 1.5 under similar circumstances.  =)

Marking worksforme, will re-open if I ever reproduce this.
