17540 - OBJECT element never render its contents

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Layout, defect, P2)

Description

[Masatoshi Kimura [:emk]]

Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch mozilla.
2. Go to the following testcase.

Actual result:
Gray placeholder box drawn, and never go away.
I'm using 1999102808 build mozilla.exe on WinNT4 (SP5).

Expected result:
Mozilla should render OBJECT's contents when it cannnot render
object itself.
See the HTML spec. 13.3.1. ( http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-
html40/struct/objects.html#h-13.3.1 )
See also Bug 1994.
Mozilla M10 build works as expected.

This bug prevents EMBED into OBJECT is rendered.
See the above URL.

dp and Pam, this is because the pres shell's CantRenderReplacedElement() code
was commented out by Nisheeth to work around the crash

Looking at the log for nsPresShell.cpp this still isn't enabled and it's causing
problems for OBJECT, EMBED, and IMG

Nisheeth:
Gagan checked in his change for the 'url redirect' fix yesterday.
This should mean you/we can test with the temporary
fix(CantRenderReplacedElement()) removed.
Let me know what's up and I can help test.

Re-assigning this bug to myself.  Putting gagan and dp on the cc list.

I removed my hack and tested this test case as well as the home.netscape.com,
mozilla.org, excite, and yahoo.  Everything looks good.  So it looks like the
earlier hack is no longer needed.  I've backed it out.
