Troubleshooting

Table with a lot of rows never finish rendering

When rendering a table with a lot of rows (>4000) chrome can hang if the html contains a 5 level of tab indentation in the source, the fix for this is to keep the tab indentation bellow 4 levels. you can take a look at the problem here and see how it is fixed by just updating the indentation here.
