I've disabled all plugins, but it still dies. It either dies with a blank page, or after the main page has loaded, but before the pop-up that initially appears has loaded any content. The site works ok in Firefox. 49666 1 mitz 2006-07-13 09:01:49 -0700 I couldn't reproduce a crash, but the page does hang WebKit in an infinite JavaScript loop, caused by the fact that String.replace() behaves strange with the section sign character § (U+00A7): "a§".replace(/§/,"b") gives "a§" instead of "ab". Marcus Bointon, does the site cause WebKit to crash or just a hang? If it causes a crash, please attach a crash report. Thanks in advance! 49669 2 marcus 2006-07-13 09:19:22 -0700 No it doesn't crash - I rephrased it as a hang in the body, but forgot to change the title. However, it's as good as a crash in terms of user experience - the only way out is to force quit. Nice to know that you narrowed it down to that cause so quickly! 49673 3 joost 2006-07-13 10:05:47 -0700 A reproducible hang is arguably just as bad as a crash. Changing to P1, changing subject. 49676 4 ddkilzer 2006-07-13 10:41:18 -0700 Adding NeedsRadar since this would probably be a good bug to fix. If it is not, please clear the keyword. 49677 5 mitz 2006-07-13 10:50:51 -0700 I don't think P1 and "good to fix" (in that specific context) are warranted. JavaScript hangs are addressed separately, while the String/RegExp bug is not a regression. 49801 6 mitz 2006-07-14 09:27:48 -0700 Duplicate of bug 8395? 49802 7 joost 2006-07-14 09:34:04 -0700 Could very well be, does the patch for that bug solve this problem too? 49936 8 mitz 2006-07-15 08:38:44 -0700 Fixed by fixing bug 8395.
