334061 - Yousendit causes crash when copying dynamic upload status text generated through JavaScript

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 303818

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[borghunter]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060308 Firefox/1.5.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.2) Gecko/20060308 Firefox/1.5.0.2

The beta, registered-user portion of Yousendit.com has a status bar with some text below it that says something like, "18% completed (16.64 MB of 91.11 MB)c
Estimated time remaining: 21:22 min." It refreshes itself every few seconds, which causes Firefox to lose the selection. That's bad enough, as you have to have good reflexes to copy that text, but it can also produce a fairly reliable crash. 

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to beta.yousendit.com (free registration required) and attempt to upload a file, preferably decently large so it takes a few minutes to upload.
2. Select the "foo% completed" etc. portion and right-click.
3. Wait for the text to deselect itself, then click Copy.
4. This usually takes a couple attempts to produce a crash.
Actual Results:  
After a couple attempts, I was presented with a Talkback page, which I dutifully sent in.

Expected Results:  
Not crashed, of course.

Talkback ID 17591430. Using an x86 version of Firefox in an AMD64 build of Ubuntu Linux 5.10.
