Details

Browser enters infinite loop (doesn't crash window stay open but no update of the window at all) when selecting text widget on a form. Build ID: 2000051020 (Linux) & 2000050908 (Linux) To Repeat: Unsure exactly what is causing this as I used both builds find for sometime before it occured! I have even tried deleting .mozilla without fixing the problem. It was caused by using Ctrl-X in 2000051020 to cut text from a text widget - browser crashed, ever since then had this behaviour. Tried bugzilla forms so far!

*SPAM*: Changing the QA contact of all open/resolved Selection bugs from elig@netscape.com to BlakeR1234@aol.com. After the many great years of service Eli has given to Mozilla, it's time for him to move on; he has accepted a position at Eazel. We'll be sad to see him go, and I'll do my best to fill his spot...
