105145 - Repeated ASCI character 0 repeated many times is shown

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 205387

(Core Graveyard :: GFX, defect, P4)

Description

[Vadim Berezniker]

I came across a site where there was a table that spanned many pages horizontally.
I narrowed down the problem to one line.
It was a null character repeated 6732 times. Mozilla extended the table to fit
all  of it. The characters were shown as spaces. (Linux)
On Windows, the same thing occured except it was displayed as a series of a
symbol from a language.

When IE opens this page, it ignores those characters.
What's the right behaviour?
Simple test case coming up.
(This bug is probably in the wrong component)

I can see the problem on 10-16-0.9.4.  I do not think this is international problem.

Temporarily moving to future until a milestone can be assigned.

This is really wierd, I cant even copy and paste those 'symbols' from the view 
source panel.  I don't really see how this is a table issue at all.  There is 
'something' there, so the table should behave this way. Maybe IE does something 
to exclude 'garbage' characters.  In anycase, I would think this would be 
something to do long before it reaches the content model.

anyone else?

This was already fixed on Windows by the patch for bug 205387.  We need to port
GFX:Win patch to other GFX ports.
