IE Freezes Long Replies With Quotes ?

stevenmu · 2005-09-30 11:21:01

For me, IE (v6 sp1) seems to freeze with 100% cpu usage if I try and post a medium/long reply with a quote in it. Long replies without quotes, and short replies with/withouth quotes seem unaffected, the length of the quote itself doesn't seem to matter either.

I usually copy any long post to a notepad before I send (just in case) - then just copy it into the "quick reply" option.
