At first you think the field just got cleared. But then you realize that you can still move the cursor around in the box, indicating that the value is still there but just not visible. If you hit ‘evaluate’, you still get a result. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the JavaScript console 2. Enter about seventy thousand 2s Actual Results: The value in the input field turns invisible. You can move the cursor around but you can’t see the actual value. Hitting 'evaluate' produces ‘infinity’ as if the value were visible. Expected Results: Input value should remain visible. Follow-up Test: After the value in the input field turned invisible, I decided to keep going: 3. Hit ctrl+a, then ctrl+c to copy the entire field 4. Click anywhere on the ‘invisible’ input field 5. Hold down ctrl+v for about 20secs so it continuously pastes 6. Release the buttons and immediately try to press Evaluate Actual result: The screen will freeze for a while and then the console will disappear. Expected result: Should display 'infinity' on output and remain open. This can cause problems when trying to evaluate large chunks of code. Especially when you consider that the console only takes one line of input at a time.

This might be a dup of one of bug 302294's other dependencies. Are you in Cem Kaner's class? Just wondering because last year, we got a lot of bug reports involving long strings and textboxes, all within a few days. I don't know what your assignment is, but it would be nice if you would find *different* bugs ;)

This seems to be fixed. Probably by the check-ins for bug 237085. Marking as dupe of bug 326176. Please reopen if you can still reproduce this with a latest nightly build. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 326176 ***
