(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Masahiro YAMADA]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b3pre) Gecko/2007122505 Minefield/3.0b3pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b3pre) Gecko/2007122505 Minefield/3.0b3pre

When TITLE element of web page contains null character(�),
Handling of title is not consistent (Window title, Tab title, History, etc.).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open attachment 294549 [details]
2.Check window title, tab title etc.
3.
Actual Results:  
Title of tab uses full title text. But title of window uses only characters before null character.


Expected Results:  
They should be consistant

It seems to be caused by difference of implementation to get length of String between traditional C (char[]), C++, and JavaScript.

Does this still happen in firefox 3.6.6 or later in a fresh profile?

No reply, INCOMPLETE. Please retest with Firefox 3.6.8 or later and a new profile (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). If you continue to see this issue with the newest firefox and a new profile, then please comment on this bug.

This is still reproduced.

But, I think , we can mark this bug as WONTFIX for HTML5 compatibility.

Because, HTML5 draft sais "Text must not contain U+0000 characters."
