[OpenLayers-Dev] Firefox crashes

[Christopher Schmidt]

To those who have had firefox crashes:

I think I was just able to work out the core reason for the Firefox
crashes we were seeing. Firefox's SVG implementation seems to strongly
dislike very large values. I've just made a commit that changes the
renderer to map all values into local pixel space.

This should fix the Firefox crashes. With WFS, Tim Schaub reported that
the patch on http://trac.openlayers.org/ticket/663 helped as well.

If you have been able to crash / lock up firefox in the past, please try
again with trunk. If you're still getting crashes, please apply
http://trac.openlayers.org/attachment/ticket/663/wfs-hangs-firefox.patch
and then let the list know that it was needed.

I'd especially to get Stephen Woodbridge to report back on this: I can
no longer reproduce his problem on
http://dev.openlayers.org/sandbox/crschmidt/541/examples/ld-testv.html ,
which seems like a good sign, but other users are always better bug
testers than me :)

Thanks,
