1152363 - Reader Mode view of mashable "Apple Watch Review" ends too early

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox Graveyard :: Reading List, defect)

Description

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

tl;dr: reader mode only shows the first section of mashable's "apple-watch-review" article.

STR:
 1. Visit http://mashable.com/2015/04/08/apple-watch-review/
 2. Click reader mode icon in URL bar
 3. Note the final line of text that you can see, and compare that against the original article.

ACTUAL RESULTS:
The last line in reader-mode is "but both lack the design elegance and sheer comfort of it", which is only ~1/5 of the way through the article. (It's at the end of the first section on "DESIGN", right before the second section "SETUP")

EXPECTED RESULTS: Full article text should be shown in Reader Mode.

Testing with Nightly, version 40.0a1 (2015-04-07) on 64-bit Ubuntu Linux

The mashable article from comment 0 seems to no longer exist; but archive.org has it snapshotted on the day that I filed this bug :)
https://web.archive.org/web/20150408123233/http://mashable.com/2015/04/08/apple-watch-review/

I can still reproduce the bug with that^ URL, using Firefox Nightly from the day this bug was filed (2015-04-08), but I can't reproduce the bug in current Nightly, so it seems that we fixed this at some point. So I think we can consider this WORKSFORME rather than INCOMPLETE.

Here's a screenshot of the reader-mode-formatted article, scrolled to the same point (ending at the "but both lack the design elegance and sheer comfort of it" phrase from comment 0).

You can see from the relative size & positions of the scrollbars that the bug is present in the old Nightly vs. fixed in the new Nightly.
