13258 - If link enclosed in B tags is clicked, highlight is wrong

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 65917

(Core :: Layout, defect, P2)

Description

[cpratt]

Build ID: 1999090708
Platform: RH Linux 6 (only, fine on Win32)

To reproduce:
- Launch apprunner
- Load a page with a link (eg mozilla.org)
- Click and hold on the link

Result: Not all of the link is changed to indicate that you are clicking on it.
Only a thin horizontal row of pixels is changed to red, but all of the link
should be changed to red.

Looks fine for me on NT (the bug doesn't say whether this is a Linux only bug),
and on Kipp's Linux box as well

That's using the latest build

Comment 2

[cpratt]

Reopening and clearing resolution. This is indeed a Linux-only bug; this is
noted by the OS field (which reads Linux) and the "[PP] Linux" in the Summary
field, which means "platform parity (that is, exclusive to one platform) Linux".

I should also point out that the original bug description reads "RH Linux 6
(only, fine on Win32)".

Comment 4

[cpratt]

Actually, it's more complicated than I had originally thought. The link has to
be surrounded by <B> tags. See the above URL or attached test case.

I was also wrong: this is a cross-platform bug. Removing [PP] and changing
platform, etc.

Comment 6

[troy]

As I said in my message when I closed the bug it works fine on Kipp's build on
Linux.

Comment 7

[cpratt]

Does it work fine on Kipp's build using the attached test case or
http://schist/m.html? To reproduce, click and hold on both of the links on that
page. The one without the enclosing B tags works; the one with the enclosing B
tags does not work. I'm using this morning's (19999090808) build. Are you using
a newer build?

I can also reproduce this on phillip's machine.

Comment 8

[cpratt]

It also reproduces on kipp's machine using the simplified test case. Honest! :)

Reopening &c.

Comment 9

[troy]

Kipp, sounded like this was your bug

Comment 10

[cpratt]

This happens in other configurations as well, eg http://schist/smoke or the
Mozilla smoke tests page. There, the pattern is <a><font>foo</font></a>, and the
same problem happens when you click on the link.

Fixed by my recent updates to line-layout for 4233 and 6865

Comment 12

[Chris Petersen]

With the Sept 13th build, this problem is fixed.

Comment 14

[Piotr Pawlow]

I think this bug should be reopened. I tried the testcase with Mozilla 1.4
(Gecko/20030624) and current nightly (Gecko/20030718), and the first link still
does not change color on click.

This is actually a DUPLICATE and never fixed.
