992230 - wrong html rendering

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 256180

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect, P5)

Description

[Emmanuel C]

Attachment: the file which show the problem

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20140319 Firefox/24.0 Iceweasel/24.4.0 (Nightly/Aurora)
Build ID: 20140319045509

Steps to reproduce:

loading the html file with the css here: 
http://www.maretmanu.org/divers/bug-iceweasel/deduction.css
the file is also here:
http://www.maretmanu.org/divers/bug-iceweasel/a.html


Actual results:

A part of the html file is not rendered correctly. If you go at the end of the document and you go 1 or 2 page back you see a big block of raw text.

The html file is w3c validated.

The bug is the same on firefox 28 for windows 7 64bits and iceweasel 24.4 for debian 64.



Expected results:

All the html page should be rendered as the start is.

If you use chromium or konqueror you don't see this bug.

Is there a *minimal* testcase?

Comment 2

[Emmanuel C]

I didn't see the bug on a smaller case, the structure is very repetitive, then I image the bug is linked to the size of the document, like a pointer/memory problem. With a good editor you can remove blocks to see if the problem persist.

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

confirming with Firefox trunk and it works with IE11 and Safari

Comment 4

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

This is almost certainly going over the maximal nesting limit the parser allows, so we stop parsing element tags to avoid stack overflows.

Comment 5

[Jens Stutte [:jstutte]]

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, >=3 years untouched DOM/Storage bug's priority.

If you have reason to believe this is wrong, please write a comment and ni :jstutte.
