137025 - floating image clips text

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 125056

(Core :: Layout, defect, P2)

Description

[Jamie Zawinski]

When I load http://www.wired.com/news/exec/0,1370,51624-2,00.html the image on
the right clips the text.  If I try to select text, I get selection-turds that
are not erased properly.

If I resize the window by a few pixels, it all displays properly: the text wraps
before hitting the image.

Mozilla 0.9.9.

Here's what it looks like before I have resized the window.

I see no turds, and the font is sans-serif too, linux current trunk cvs. This is
propably bug 129350 (via bug 125056), fixed 2002-03-26. Can you try this in a
recent nightly please?

This is because we incorrectly (due to incorrect parent pointers) changed the
font the style data were pointing to, but didn't (since there shouldn't have
been any change in the first place) cause a reflow, so we were displaying text
using an incorrect font when the text was laid out using the correct font.
