IE7 crashes when opening Image Editor

[richard.soegito]

Hi All,

Image editor consistently breaks in IE7. Every time I open then Image Editor (click on Edit Image button), IE 7 would hang and then crash.

Tested using Wordpress 3.4 and 3.4.1 with different machines and I got the same result.

I use Firebug to debug and can't find any script error. There's probably a long running script that is not suitable for IE7?

This requires an urgent fix as this feature would just kill the entire browser.

Hope to see any suggestion / fix for this issue.

Thanks.

IE 7 is not fully supported in admin see #18199. This is a support issue not a bug.

#18199 is an open ticket - IE7 is not deprecated at this moment.

I did some testing on this issue with virtual machine with IE9 browser mode set to IE7 and document mode set to IE7 Standards. I was able to confirm the crash error report.

It was a stack overflow error traced back to imgAreaSelect. Updating the plugin to the latest version 0.9.9 fixed the crashing.

I'm going to create another ticket with updated 3rd party library.
