Wendall Cada commented on COUCHDB-1789:
---------------------------------------

This is mostly a browser limitation. Additionally, the library that creates the 
visual tree structures is somewhat expensive beyond a certain point. The 
specific limitation depends on the hardware and browser version, but there is 
clearly a limit. I don't think it's reasonable to expect Futon to do something 
that is pushing the browser beyond it's capabilities.

There are a couple of possible "fixes" I see here. One would be simply showing 
a message to the user that attempting to render the doc may have unexpected 
results, or just render the doc as plain text.

Is there some expected resolution here? I'm not seeing how we can do much as 
this is a browser issue, not a really a futon issue.

This may be resolved somewhat in Fauxton (Futon replacement), but I've not 
played around with the upper limits there either, so I'm unsure that this isn't 
an issue with Fauxton as well.
