Summary Browsing projects.archlinux.org sometimes hangs entire desktop

Reported 2013-12-21 13:12:42 PST
Browsing projects at https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git sometimes, but not always, hangs my entire desktop. My lowball guess is that this happens roughly 20% of the time. It can happen on any subpage. This is pretty much the same as Bug #126122, but I have no clue if this is the same problem or a different one. The first warning sign is that the page is taking unusually long to load (3-4 seconds). If I react very quickly and close the tab or my browser, then the day is saved. Otherwise, I can at first move the mouse pointer very sluggishly, but not click on anything, and then I completely lose control. I have no choice but to hold the power button to shut down my computer. I've had no success attempting to debug this, since I don't know how to trigger the bug without borking my computer. webkitgtk3-2.2.3-1.fc20 epiphany-3.10.2-1.fc20

https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk?h=packages/libreoffice specifically seems to be a fairly reliable reproducer.

We determined that this issue is most likely related to very large combo boxes. It also is likely to occur on bug reports at bugzilla.redhat.com.

This site got a small redesign and the bug no longer occurs, as far as I can tell.
