Alt text is not being drawn in all cases. I'm using build 2002020406 (0.9.8).
I'll upload a test case if Moz permits, and go back and see what is the last
milestone that worked.

OK, bugzilla keeps insisting that I "didn't specify a file to attach."
If someone can point me to a bug for that, let me know. Here's the HTML

Milestone 0.9.7 shows a broken link icon and alternate text, all clipped.
I'm guessing that a change went in that won't display anything if it
will be clipped.
It's a good practice to set the height and width for IMG to match the
graphic, but if the graphic won't load it'd be nice if the text would
display without being clipped.
Regardless, Mozilla should endeavor to display something. Get rid of the
broken link icon if it's keeping the text from displaying.

I'm attaching a test case for this bug. It clearly shows that if the image is
too small to support the icon then the alt text and icon aren't displayed.
(However the text is (correctly) truncated if the text is just too wide.

Having trawled through all the comments on bug 41924 I believe that this bug is
invalid - we are implementing our spec for alt text correctly.
However... This is a usability nightmare. I am going to raise a separate RFE to
implement Jacobsen's suggestion that if the icon & alt text won't fit we (a) try
it without the icon and (b) reduce the size of the alt text (to some minimum,
e.g. 50% of the default font size) until it fits, (c) if it still doesn't fit
display as much as possible at this lower font limit.
