49044 - freeze if i paste more than 4000 bytes

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 32334

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P3)

Description

[R.K.Aa.]

Not a new bug but couldn't find it:

M18 linux 2000081420

Can't paste more than 4000 bytes with middle moust click into Composer or mail
editor. Larger content (4001 bytes upwards) will freeze everything and moz has
to be killed.

Confirmed on Linux 2000-08-15-05.  Pasting more than 4K characters from my xterm
results in Mozilla spinning on this system call:

ioctl(8, FIONREAD, 0xbfffe29c)          = 0
ioctl(8, FIONREAD, 0xbfffe29c)          = 0

i suspect this is a dup of 32334 and/or 21847, marking as dup of 32334

I see 32334 is marked future. Just as a final comment:
In NC 4.7 i can paste a file hundred times as large without problems.
I can probably paste megabytes - didn't try.

The petty 4000 bytes I can currently paste into moz is barely ONE PAGE of text.
Marking such a bug future in effect means "you can't really paste in mozilla".

IMHO: this bug is more qualified as a "blocker" than a "future" bug.

just tested: i can easily paste 2211462 bytes of text into mailcompose in
NC4.72. That's 2.1 MB text.
