Created attachment 113125 [details] Test case Since HTMLObjectElement::updateWidget() is called during layout, we can do certain things in a beforeload listener that would trigger a reentrant layout and hence a re-entrant call to HTMLObjectElement::updateWidget(). A simple case would be calling event.target.offsetWidth in the listener for an object's beforeload event. See the attached test case. While this triggers an assertion in debug builds, it has no release symptom that I'm aware of.
