(Keywords: crash)

Open the reference URL, attempt to select text by dragging the cursor from bottom to top. Within a couple of failing tries (nothing gets highlighted), browser will crash with an invalid page fault. Repeated four times to capture info for talkback, but talkback doesn't display a session ID I can pass along here. Win32 2001052404 build, running under Windows98b. Text selection by dragging has worked for me in the past builds, so this is either a new bug, or is dependent on the particular displayed text, which is an HTML page's code. Browser was newly launched, but Windows was not newly rebooted. Crash details: MOZILLA caused an invalid page fault in module GKLAYOUT.DLL at 017f:60318079. Registers: EAX=0068f670 CS=017f EIP=60318079 EFLGS=00010202 EBX=00000000 SS=0187 ESP=0068f0a4 EBP=0068f524 ECX=000009fe DS=0187 ESI=02861b40 FS=5b77 EDX=0068f378 ES=0187 EDI=000009fe GS=0000 Bytes at CS:EIP: 66 8b 14 4a 66 81 fa 91 05 72 07 66 81 fa a1 05 Stack dump: 02861b40 0068f670 0068f680 03c7509c 000009ff 00000001 02d29450 00000000 00000000 0068f0d0 00000080 002f000a 00540048 004c004d 0000003e 00000001

This sounds like bug 82566 which I just checked in a fix for this morning. Try any build created after 05/24/01 8am.
Oops, I meant bug 82556. Marking FIXED, please reopen if you still crash.

bah once again my fingers failed me... I meant try any build created after 05/25/01 8am.
Confirm, crash no longer occurs in my environment as of the 2001052708 build for win32, using the same test URL. Thanks. Probably this was a dup, but we can just leave it as "Verified Fixed", I suppose. There are still a couple of remaining artifacts that can be seen using the reference URL: trying to begin drag-selection significantly below the baseline of the last line of body text fails, left-clicking in the same area also fails to clear a selection once made. Are these known failures, or should I open a new bug report for them?
