Sometimes it’s a relief when you find that a bug you’re trying to fix in your own code is actually related to someone else’s code. I’ve been trying to figure out why large text blocks inside of an xml file keep getting truncated when I read the file in with JavaScript. Turns out it’s Firefox Bug 452675.

FF 3 creates multiple #text nodes for elements with well under
4096 characters of text data

Good to know I’m not crazy…
