14704 - Displays very ugly in M9, but fine in NS4.6 and IE 5.0

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 12906

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[waldschrott]

Just look at it, everything is displayed in one line I think.
Netscape 4.6 and IE 5.0 render that page exactly the same way.
Now who is wrong NS4.6 an IE5.0 or Mozilla, I don´t know, I created it too fit
Netscape and MS rendering and just checked what Mozilla says...

It sounds like you're reporting a bug in layout -- at least, you don't say
anything about saving the output, so I can't figure out why this is assigned to
the Output component.  Indeed, there are some layout problems (doesn't wrap to
existing size of window, though there's already a bug open on that, and the
green letters at the top get printed on top of other text.

One problem with the page is that there are no units specified for some of the
CSS properties. For example, 'margin-top: 2' is invalid CSS and you need to
specify a unit, e.g., px

I created a reduced test case that desmonstrates the problem of text being
positioned over top of other text.

This is kind of a messy issue that involves the initial containing block and
what do to use for the containing block height. It's also a DUP of bug #12906
