Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 295769

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Mark]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.3) Gecko/20060504 Fedora/1.5.0.3-1.1.fc5 Firefox/1.5.0.3 pango-text
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.3) Gecko/20060504 Fedora/1.5.0.3-1.1.fc5 Firefox/1.5.0.3 pango-text

When submitting long form via GET, form data in URL causes overlaid text. I have a cropped screenshot which shows this.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator-text
2. Enter lots of CSSv2 into edit box.
3. Click "Submit this CSS for validation" button

Actual Results:  
Firefox URL bar shows overlaid text. It makes a Latin-1 char set look like Urdu or something.

Expected Results:  
A human-readable URL bar.

Clicking in the URL bar and then moving the caret seems to give some relief.

I will attach the screenshot and the submitted CSS for your attempts to duplicate this bug.

Enter this attachment's contents into the "Text" edit box, then click "Submit this CSS for validation". Hopefully, you will see overlaid text similar to the image I have attached.

Do get the same result while using the default theme? Could you also try an official binary?
