What's the URL of the page containing the problem?

  http://reviews.review-board.org/r/315/diff/

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open the above URL in Firefox 2.0.0.13/MacOS X 10.5.2
2. Scroll down to lines 715-717 of the diff
3. Click on line 715 and drag to line 717

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, since the review in question is
"closed" (submitted).  But for some reason the whole browser locked up
(could still change tabs, but the tab content remained on the diff) and I
had to force-quit and restart in order to use the browser at all after
selecting.  (Cool!)  I'm not at all sure what would cause that, but it's a
beaut.  :)

What operating system are you using? What browser?

Firefox 2.0.0.13/MacOS X 10.5.2

Please provide any additional information below.

I was able to reproduce the problem three times.  I've never had a failed
reproduction.  I do not see this issue on open (unsubmitted) reviews.

I'm happy to take a look at this and try to fix it.

Very strange. I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.11 on Linux and I'm not seeing this problem at
all. I'd suggest installing Firebug and see if it shows any debug info.

I'd love to know how we're breaking Firefox that bad :) And then use it for
evil^H^H^H^Hbug prevention.

2.0.0.13 is relatively old, and this definitely sounds like a browser bug. Can you
try with a more modern release and we'll reopen if you continue to have problems?

Thanks
