11288 - Nested blockquote with assigned display: inline is not working

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

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

Description

[Christine Hoffman]

Using 8/2 Apprunner on Win 95, Win NT, Win 98, Mac8.5 and Linux.

Open attached test case.

Expected result: Text in the nested blockquote with a 'display: inline' value
should continue inline in the paragraph.

Actual result: There is a line break before the blockquote and a large space
after the blockquote

The problem is that the paragraph is not containing the blockquote (I'm not sure
that it should, I don't think so). The trailing space is caused (correctly) by
the margins asigned to the blockquote in ua.css.

<P> doesn't contain <BLOCKQUOTE> and we appear to behave like IE and Nav.
(Although we do something interesting with margins.)

that's correct -- a BLOCKQUOTE within a P element is illegal HTML. Marking
verified.

Oops! How soon one forgets their HTML principles.....
