How discouraging when mozilla regresses. Alas, in surfing on Win95 with build 1999122108 just about every "Read More" link on slashdot (see URL for example) causes a mozilla freeze. To reproduce, simply go to the above url, wait for page to load, scroll down and to the right. BAM. Scrolling on other sites (CNN) does not seem to cause this behaviour. So, it must be choking on some HTML layout maybe? I'll try and isolate the HTML - no promises.

Whoa! I just pulled up the URL in Opera to save off the page source and pictures. Man Mozilla is rendering that page way whack! Opera shows a couple levels of embedding of <UL> while Mozilla shows that they are embedded about 15 levels (hence the wide width of the page). This must be related. Could be that slashdot is producing bad HTML (doubt it) but I'd bet Mozilla is misprocessing the</UL>'s I'll check to be sure. Is that a layout issue?

Yup, that's it. Huge problem. Missing all </UL>'s. See attachment.

No, it's not residual style, but I'll look to see whether it's the parser's elementtable.

It's related to changes in the elementtable. I have a fix in my tree, which I'll land with my next update.

Reset target milestone.

The UL bug is fixed. The crash is a dup and covered elsewhere.

UL problem fixed in the Dec 22nd build.
