-->layout...this happens on win32 trunk too, and only on each 2nd line

Comment 2

[Heikki Toivonen (remove -bugzilla when emailing directly)]

Please triage.

Comment 3

[Johnny Stenback (:jst)]

The content model that the parser builds from this page is nowhere close to what
the page contains, the page contains things like this:

<nobr><font ...>some text</font></nobr><br>

and the parser sees most of those (it gets the first line right, or close at
least) lines as:

  <nobr/>
  <font ...>
     some text
  </font>
  <br/>

reassignig to harishd.

This bug has been marked "future" because the original netscape engineer working 
on this is over-burdened. If you feel this is an error, that you or another
known resource will be working on this bug,or if it blocks your work in some way 
-- please attach your concern to the bug for reconsideration.
