Invalid <a> attribute causes CPU to run @100% on Chrome

[Jeconais]

This only happens in Chrome (Windows and Linux). IE and Firefox handle the situation properly.

Entering a malformed a tag, with an invalid and escaped attribute causes the page to freeze. Looking at the process manager, the tab in question was running at 100% cpu.

A combination of obscure bugs in my own code caused the invalid html that triggers this bug:

<a href="http://www.amazon.com/" store\"="">google</a>

In IE and Firefox, the invalid attribute "store" is completely removed.

To trigger:

Click "Source"
Paste above snippet
Click "Source" again

Not a huge bug, and obviously inputting correct html avoids this completely.

Ticket confirmed
Additional info:Under Opera11, above link is parsed into:

<p>
	&lt;a data-cke-saved-href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/&quot; href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/&quot; store\&quot;=&quot;&quot;&gt;google</p>

Now (4.1) all browsers behave like Opera. Link is parsed when setting data, but isn't correctly recognised and is encoded when getting data back.
