#3802 closed Bug (fixed)

SCAYT plugin causes IE6 to hang with 100% CPU usage.

Reported by: Martin Kou Owned by: Frederico Caldeira Knabben
Priority: Normal Milestone: CKEditor 3.0
Component: UI : Spell Checker Version: SVN (CKEditor) - OLD
Keywords: Review+ 3.0RC Cc: WebSpellChecker.net

Description

To reproduce:

  1. Enable SCAYT in IE6.
  2. Type anything in the editing area - with a purposefully misspelled word to check for the plugin's effectiveness.
  3. Wait a few seconds.
  4. Now your IE6 freezes up with 100% CPU usage.
  5. If it didn't freeze up in step 4, wait for your misspelled word to get highlighted, and right click on it - it should freeze up here.

Since we're going to release a beta really soon, we can't go on to fix this completely. Other tests have shown the bug to occur in IE7 and IE8 as well.

So I'm disabling it for all IE versions at the moment.

Hey Martin... stay calm and breath... let's have a less hacky solution to disable it. I'm attaching a new patch.
