#8246 closed Bug (fixed)

Performance problems with nested documents

Reported by: Damian Owned by: Garry Yao
Priority: Normal Milestone: CKEditor 3.6.2
Component: Performance Version:
Keywords: IBM Cc: Satya Minnekanti, Teresa Monahan

Description

This problem was raised by a customer using Outlook to copy and paste content into CKEditor.

When the content is pasted (or set using the source edit mode), in IE a "stack overflow" error will occur. In Firefox, this can manifest as an "unresponsive script" error.

It appears that the heavily nested nature of the document is what is causing the editor to hang or throw an error.

When the content is viewed on its own in a browser or copied and pasted on a vanilla contenteditable div, the above mentioned performance issues are not noticeable. This seems to suggest that the performance issues are a result of the editor's processing on the document rather than a browser issue only.

I have managed to reproduce it in all IE browsers.

Switch to source, paste the code form the attachment, switch to WYSIWYG:
IE6 - Browser crashes. Reoproducible from CKEditor 3.0.2
IE7 - Browser throws 'Stack Overflow' and editor crashes. Reproducible from CKEditor 3.0
IE8 - Browser displays info on long running script or freezes. Reproducible form CKE 3.0.2

Switch to source, paste the code form the attachment, switch to WYSIWYG, switch to source:
IE9 – Page crashes. Reproducible form CKE 3.0

It looks like we have a performance issue with the CKEDITOR.dom.node::isReadOnly implementation, which was revealed in CKEDITOR.dom.range::moveToElementEditStart, causing the complexity of this method raised to O(n2).

There's a much simpler (and equivalent) implementation exists though, I've also expanded the relevant dts: http://ckeditor.t/dt/core/dom/node.html

In previous patch I've neglected some side effects of the old API, which was addressed in the new patch and dts are enlarged to include them.
