-webkit-box-reflect in hyperlink causes webkit to crash

• Component: CSS
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Trevor Downs]

I'm using Mac OS X 10.5.3 PPC and today's build of WebKit. In the attached document I tried to put a reflection effect on a link. It did not render and when I tried to select the text it caused the browser to crash. I've tried 3 times.

To recreate:
1. open the attached HTML file.
2. On the second line try to highlight "CyberSkull"
3. Spinning marble of doom, then crash.

<rdar://problem/5961768> is essentially the same issue.

Suppress reflections of inline flows

This proved to be hard to do in adjustRenderStyle() because there is no easy way to tell the that element is going to be an inline flow, so instead this patch just overrides the flag on the renderer.
