Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 215055

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/528.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Safari/528.16
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032609 Firefox/3.0.8 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

If you have HTML of the following format:

<div style="overflow: auto;">
<table><tbody>
<tr>
...
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>

And, the table has a large amount of content (over 5500 rows or so, depending on default font size), it will be cut off after a certain point. Trying to select the hidden content causes the browser to lock up briefly, followed by it recognizing other text as selected. Removing the overflow style fixes the problem, but that nesting of tags may be needed for certain layouts.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load page containing DIV with large row count table
2. Scroll down until you reach a point where there is no content. It may be in the middle of a particular row.
3. Try to select the content of that row, or below it.
Actual Results:  
Table is shorter than it should be, and not all content of the table is visible.

Expected Results:  
All content of any table of any size, should be visible, regardless of this particular style.

Will attach a sample html file which causes this to occur.

See this file in Firefox for the problem (just scroll about 1/3 down). I tested it originally in the released version, but it also appears in the nightly build I downloaded today.
