9778 - Text::insertData() stops JS when used on node created with splitText()

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P2)

Description

[David Baron :dbaron: (⌚️UTC-5, no longer working on Mozilla)]

Text::InsertData() seems to be stopping JS execution when it is used on a text
node created by splitText().

See http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~dbaron/dom/test/one-core-xml/Text (which right
now is stuck on bug 9777) and
http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~dbaron/dom/test/one-core-xml/Text_mozilla (which has
both this bug and that one commented out)

With the problem in bug 9777 commented out:
Observed:  JS stops after printing "Correct: second.data is..."
Expected: runs all the way through to "Test finished."

HTML DOM bugs are M11/P2 for Vidur.

This bug may be invalid.  I need to recheck the test with the fix to bug 9777
in.  [e-mail] pointed out an error a few weeks ago, which I fixed, and
the only problem remaining may be that bug...

Reassigning to Waqar to confirm that this has been fixed.

It's actually still a bug... although I think it's happening at a different
place.  I'll try and get you some simplified test cases for these bugs...

I'm confusing myself.  I'm not sure.

It was a bug in the test case.  I had the parameters mixed up.  Or something...
Marking INVALID.
