Bug Description
Using nxhtml-mode or nxml without nxhtml (which is to my knowlede the base for nxhtml) I get serious memory problems in emacs. Working within an xhtml file for while with nxml-mode on, emacs seems to try to validate, stops after a while a tells me in the mode-line "MEM FULL". There is no other option to kill the emacs process. It is difficult to reproduce this behaviour consistantly but it happens seemingly in the following cases:
Set a mark, use C-M-n to jump to the closing tag to mark a region
Jumping around in the file tag-wise (using C-M-n and C-M-p)
I get the impression that emacs is overwhelmed trying to validate the file. I already split up my dot-emacs and set up a very reduced configuration just for testing nxml-mode and to make sure, that the mode is not interfering with some other extension. It seems this mode causes the problems, because I still get the described behaviour.
I am using emacs 23.2.1 on Linux Mint 11. The last time I tried nxhtml it was version 2.08. The last version of nxml-mode I used is 20041004.
I do not know, if this is the right place to report this bug, because it seems to be caused by nxml-mode rather than nxhtml. On the other side I could not find a place to report a bug concerning nxml-mode.
Furthermore I do not know, how to get more information about this behaviour (knowing that the information provided is not very much to start debugging). Can someone give a hint?
