61811 - flex="-1" crashes mozilla: Floating point exception

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: XUL, defect, P4)

Description

[Håvard Dahle]

even though flex="-1" isn't very helpful, moz should manage to keep her self alive. 
(flex="-1" doesn't break anything if the xul is loaded directly and not in the sidebar.)

This is the errormsg as dumped to the console:

/home/apollo/havardda/mozilla/run-mozilla.sh: line 72: 24025 Floating point exception$prog ${1+"$@"}

Shouldn't Mozilla just ignore a negative flex value entirely?

reassigning.

->evaughan, p4/moz0.9, since this presumably affects only XUL developers.  Where
is the flex=-1 being used?

Comment 5

[Håvard Dahle]

I'm trying to recreate the crash, but using a nightly build from yesterday, it
seems that flex="-1" isn't a problem any more. FYI, the crash occured only when
the xul data was loaded in the sidebar, and the attribute could appear in any
element.
I'll try some more to recreate the bug (and publish a test case if need be), but
I really do think the bug is solved :)

Marking worksforme per reporter's last comment.  Please reopen if this rears its
ugly head again.

Lots of verifications.

If I had to test stuff, it was on Win2K, build id 2001052404.
