Browser hangs with with certain combination html (meta/link) and 'enterMode'

[Pieter Fibbe]

On the demo page initialize a new ckeditor with the following enter-mode:

CKEDITOR.config.enterMode = CKEDITOR.ENTER_BR; CKEDITOR.appendTo('demoInside', { height: 300 });

Go to 'source' view and type:

<table>
 <tbody>
   <tr>
      <td>
	  <table>
	    <tr>
	      <td>
	         <meta>
		 <link>
	      </td>
	    </tr>
	  </table>
        </td>
      </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

Click again on 'source' mode to go back to normal mode (WYSIWYG). The browser now hangs.

It only seems to happen with a table nested in another table in combination with 2 'link' or 'meta' tags or a combination.

The problem seems to occur in fragment.js in the 'while (1)' loop.

Although it might not be correct html to have 'meta' or 'link' tags in the body part, a lot of our clients are using reports/templates with this kind of code for certain (historical) reasons and now suddenly run into this problem since we have switched from FCKEDITOR to CKEDITOR. Please make it backwards compatible.
