63682 - crash copy/pasting text into a form from view->page source

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 63563

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[David Taylor]

BuildID:    2234234234

Mozilla crashes when pasting text from view -> page source
into a form.

Reproducible: Every time
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to above URL, (or any bug, including this one, will probably work).
2.  Go to view -> page source
3.  Select the source [1*]
4.  Attempt to paste it into any of the text boxes/textareas.

Actual Results:  The browser will crash.

Expected Results:  The browser should paste the text into the textarea.

* Note 1:  It seems to depend on how much text you paste from the browser.

When I first noticed this bug, it was bug 63661.  I attempted to paste
the code from mozilla, which worked almost correctly, except the final
character (the '>') was missing, and when I went back to the view source
window, random garbage had appeared (a '=' and a 'R' and something else,
at the end of 3 seemingly random lines) -- but for any given page/selection
it always seems to be the same junk that appears.

When I tried pasting from a bug report to reproduce the problem, I pasted
more (about 1 screenful), which crashed mozilla instantly.

Possibly related is the fact that if, instead of attempting to paste
into mozilla, you paste into notepad, for clipboard contents that
would crash mozilla, notepad doesn't paste anything.

Can not repro on linux w 2000122321

Reporter: The build ID you mention is obviously wrong.
Please add correct build ID. (The numbers appear on top of browser window)

WFM on Win2k / Build 2000122320

Reporter: Please try it again with a new profile (delete your old one) and
delete the "mozregistry.dat" in c:\winnt.

If you see this crash with a new profile, please use a new build with talkback
and post your talkback ID.

ahem, I have no idea how that build id got there..

2000122308 on Win2K is the current build I'm using..

I'll try with a fresh profile later today..

I can reproduce. David Taylor, is this the same crash as bug 63563?
I think it's a duplicate of that bug.
Thanks!

I think it is the same bug.  It seems to be happening in almost
exactly the same circumstances, and it also seems to depend on
the size of the text copied..
