72622 - Paste from "view source" crashes browser.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Internationalization, defect)

Description

[Thue Janus Kristensen]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.18 i686; en-US; 0.8.1) Gecko/20010319
BuildID:    2001031910

marking all of the text in the view source frame crahes the browser.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://apolyton.net/forums/Forum23/HTML/020929.html?15
2. right-click and choose "view page source"
3. move the mouse to the top left of the view source frame; move it to the
button of your screen so that the view source window scrools and all text is marked.
4. Open an emacs editor. paste the stuff into it by middle-clicking.

Actual Results:  *poof goes the browser*

Expected Results:  I had expected that using mozilla would make me rich and famous.

I tried pasting into kedit instead of emacs. This didn't crash mozilla but the
text still did not appear correctly in kedit. So it is fair to assume this to be
a mozilla bug.

Comment 1

[Doron Rosenberg (IBM)]

can you reproduce this?

Comment 2

[Thue Janus Kristensen]

As I said in the bug report:
"Reproducible: Always"

Comment 3

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

I see this with a CVS build pulled at "Tue Mar 20 07:30:01 EST 2001"

Attaching stack trace (with some attempts to poke at variable values at the end)

I don't know where to assign this to....

Comment 4

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Attachment: Stack trace and some extra info from gdb

Comment 5

[Fabian Guisset]

CC'ing waterson. I believe we already have a similar bug report.

Comment 6

[Kathleen :Brade]

cc Cata who wrote the code at the top of the stack trace 
(nsUnicodeEncodeHelper::ConvertByTable)

This does appear to be a duplicate of #50613 but that has been Futured.

Comment 7

[Oliver Klee]

Adding crash keyword.

Comment 8

[Keyser Sose]

This is a dupe of bug 50613 but 50613 is not a crash. So I am going to mark this
NEW. Feel free to dupe 50613.

Comment 9

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

then over to I18N

Comment 10

[nhottanscp]

Reassign to pavlov, cc to ftang.

Comment 11

[Stuart Parmenter]

why are you reassigning this to me?

Comment 12

[nhottanscp]

I reassigned to you because bug 50613 is assigned to you. Do you think this is a
different problem?

Comment 13

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

cannot seem to repro this using a debug build on linux from noon today. is this
still a problem? if not, it should prolly be marked wfm --if yes, i'm thinking
it should be marked a dup of bug 50613 [same trace].

Comment 14

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

I can't reproduce it anymore either, CVS build from 2001-04-17. [e-mail]?

Comment 15

[Andreas Becker]

I can't reproduce it either, mozilla and trunk build 2001042305.

Comment 16

[seb bacon]

I can reproduce this bug, Linux, build 2001042321 from nightlies.  Also related
seems to be the fact that if I middle-click-paste *any* courier font words
outside input fields (e.g. view source, or <pre> formatted stuff), I get a
couple of extra newlines.  Browser only barfs on a lot of text, e.g. copying a
whole page.

Comment 17

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

adding dependency on the out-of-bounds bug

Comment 18

[Manoj]

OS: w2K
build: 20010913
Works for me... Pasted into notepad on W2K
Pasted into Gvim 5.8a on w2k

Comment 19

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Manoj, this is a Unix-only bug.
