browser crash

[Spaceman-Spiff]

every topic in the PHP Scripting Help board that contains [ code ] tag crashes my Firebird 0.7. Opens okay on IE though. I'm guessing it's the Copy to clipboard feature.

Does this happen to anyone else, or is it just me?

examples:

Not me, I have the latest trunk of FB installed (v.8 released Friday...)

I think they fixed it, actually.  It was a bug.... it has to do with divs that have overflow set to auto and are bigger than some certain size.

And the copy to clipboard feature is IE only.  Security settings on 99% of all Mozilla Firebird installs prohibit copying anything.

1. It's not the actual release, it's the latest trunk, the version found in the /pub/mozilla.org/firebird/nightly/latest-trunk folder. The windows version...


2. Nope that topic works normally for me, no crashes here

Weird, my Firebird hangs with 100% CPU (or thereabouts) on that topic. Tested with new profile too.

Build ID
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040131 Firebird/0.7+

It was the build from latest0.8 directory...

Either you installed incorecttly (did you delete FB folder and reinstall?) or you just have a typo... but your version says 0.7?

This is what I'm using exactly and it works perfectly fine:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040130 Firebird/0.8.0+

Build ID
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040131 Firebird/0.7+

Either you installed incorecttly (did you delete FB folder and reinstall?) or you just have a typo... but your version says 0.7?

I installed to a separate directory, (in fact it was even on a separate drive).

I got my the build from the 0.8 branch, not trunk... considering 0.8 hasn't been released yet (Monday apparently) I'm not surprised my build ID says 0.7+. I suspect yours is from the trunk, hence 0.8.0+ because code has split from the 0.8.. If I'm right then that would mean this bug will continue to be in Firebird when 0.8 is released

hmm...
this thread crashes my Firefox 0.8: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=4304.0
the link above validates fine as xhtml 1.0 transitional

this one also crashes firefox 0.8: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=5516.15
but this one does NOT validate as xhtml 1.0 transitional

They should both now validate, but they still crash Firefox.

WFM.

Well, assuming it's fixed - which it seems to be - could I get people to check this?

It seems to still be unreliable, but I just want to make sure this is true for everyone. (Gobalopper?)

that site works with both:

and latest IE...

I know it doesn't crash Firefox, it's not supposed to.  However, *does it* do what it says it does.  (or do all the boxes have scrollbars, as they should?)

Coincidentally, that URL does not happen to work properly in IE either.  The top two divs and the last one - the ones with heights - are two short.

I know that this is a bug in Firefox and not SMF but are you going to work around it or not? I gather not by the moving of the Bug Report to Fixed/Bogus and the link to this thread. The bug is fixed in the nightlies but is still present in the 0.8 release which many people are using - nightlies aren't everyone's cup of tea

If you (have) decide(d) not to, then I respect the decision, just wanted to know the reasoning I guess...

[Spaceman-Spiff]

the page is fine

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

i'm still getting a crash in a few topics on this site though, but some ppl said its been fixed in 0.8+
example: http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=6047.4 (actually this one doesn't entirely crash the browser, but lags the browser a lot)

[Gobalopper]

For some reason it has never crashed for me and I have always used Gecko based browsers.

And the sample page renders the way it should on my end.
