There is a danger of memory leaks in keeping the necessary DOM references in memory during external editing. That's why in the initial version of this feature, we keep it simple and do the entire operation in the input sequence cycle, so we have a guarantee of proper cleanup if something goes wrong. I'm redesigning this in a branch I'm working on though, and the redesign will address the memory leak problem. -- John Foerch _______________________________________________ Conkeror mailing list [email protected] https://www.mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/conkeror
