It absolutely crashed Firefox 18.0.1 under Mac. I typed

hgjj]{return}{return}{return}{return}

and it just beachballed. I had to force quit the browser. Happened the second time I tried it too.




Chromium 24.0.1302.0 (162733) on OS X 10.8.2: Same issue as above, although I just had to close out the tab instead of forcing the browser to close.

The issue is with the ']', and ONLY after I hit the return key. The entire page becomes unresponsive afterwards.


Fixed!


Thank you for catching this, there are multiple instances where the same bug causes an infinite loop, muahaha. Will fix soon


sweet. Thanks for fixing.


works for me in FF 18.0.1 on win7.
