2010-11-10 07:59:31 Paul Sladen summary Clicking on huge image brings machine to standstill (complete loss of interactivity) Clicking on huge image locks/hangs machine (complete loss of interactivity)
2010-11-10 08:06:32 Paul Sladen description Binary package hint: firefox Note that whilst I've initially filed this against Firefox, it is a wider cross-stack performance issue (a single application should not be able to bring the machine down). Clicking on the following image: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/96/Georgetown_PowerPlant_interior_pano.jpg (27,000✕17,000) sets the Firefox title, but then immediately locks the machine with all loss of interactivity. Ideally Firefox should not undertake activities that are likely to bring the machine down (such as allocated huge arrays for data that it has not yet even received) and ideally the rest of the stack down to the kernel should not let a single application bring the rest down.
