10324 - [4.xP] Font size doesn't match Navigator or IE

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 991

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect, P3)

Description

[vidur (gone)]

The fonts in the "Search Books"/Amazon.com table on the right are a different
size than those chosen in Nav 4.x and IE. Troy implied that it *might* be
because we fixed a font round-off bug that's existed for a while in Navigator.
If that's so, we're introducing an incompatibility that is going to hit a large
number of sites. I'm really hoping it's a different bug.

There's a similar font size difference in the "Yellow Pages - People Search
-..." line at the bottom of the page.

Parser/DTD issue. Rediced test case:
<small>
  <center>
    center small
  </center>
  small
</small>

The <small> is not containing the <center>.

Other font size differences are the result of the rounding issue.

See Vidur, you got all bunched for nothing. There's a legitimate bug here. As
far as the rounding issue goes, I'm glad we fixed it...

This is just another residual style bug. I'm close to checking in that final
piece of that upgrade, and a whole lot of these will disappear.

Removing myself from cc: since Vidur reportedly got all bunched for nothing. ;->

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

This is a classic example of the non-bug 991.
