This is most likely a Firefox on X bug, Firebug can't stop Firefox (or X) from crashing. Probably the graphics operation ultimately used by Firebug to render the 0.5M data was not designed for that size.
If you made up a fake test case that still crashed your X, we could use it to create a limiter/scalable UI in Firebug. We probably don't want render all 530K at once in any case. We've done a lot of these since Firebug 1.0 for various cases as they come up. On Sep 4, 8:32 am, Russ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have run into a rather difficult problem.
