120249 - list-style disc looks like square

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 91816

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

If you have an ul (first level) the list symbol defaults to list-style-type:disc
which is OK. But the symbol actually looks like a small square (filled). The
second level list defaults to list-style-type:circle which looks nice. Actually
disc should look like a filled circle. And a third level list uses a square
which appears bigger than disc. On Windows everything (on the same pages) looks
as expected. To clarify:

<ul style="list-style-type:disc">
<li>This looks like a small square
<li><ul style="list-style-type:circle">
    <li>This really looks like a circle
    <li><ul style="list-style-type:square">
        <li>This looks like a square bigger than the first
        </ul>
    </ul>
</ul>

BTW: If you increase font size enough it really looks like a disc in the first
place.

Reporter, can you try text zooming in and out to see if that fixes the problem?
 This sounds like bug 91816 to me.  Please have a look and see if that describes
what you're seeing.

Shame on me for not reading the report properly.

I got mail from the reporter:

-------------------
What exactly do you mean by zooming? Text zoom? That is what I meant
with increasing text size.

Almost, but not quite. To me it looks like a real square. That might
depend on the font.
--------------------

So if it looks right on increased text sizes, then I think it is a duplicate of
that bug.  it is possible that the font is causing it to look more like a square
than the others have seen, but it could also be because of a difference in
initial font size or possibly even screen resolution where we round incorrectly.

So, I'm duping to bug 91816 as the problem in the summary of it still holds:
"bullets are not displayed correctly on certain text zooms"

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 91816 ***

Yes, thanks for the clarification. I will verify this one.
