Ext JS 3.4 DOM Exception INVALID_STATE_ERR

I've experienced a strange situation in my Ext Js application. After I migrated to jsf 2 and changed jsp pages to well formed xhtmls, my extjs application started not to work. After some googling, I've come up with a solution. Here is the problem in Ext JS 3.4 library :

Because the inner html code in line 7648 is not well formed, it causes Chrome screen to freeze. You need to modify the Ext Js code. I don't know it is a good solution but closing the last div element fixes this case.

I don't know if the same problem occurs on Ext JS 4 because I haven't migrated to it yet.

The following StackOverflow answer helped me to fix the problem:

Beginning with version 1.1, Ext JS retains no dependencies on external libraries, instead making their use optional. (Source: wikipedia)
