1239 - font wrong in several places

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 991

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect, P2)

Description

[buster]

could be style or parser bug.
"FBI warns" header font too big.  Other similar headers have same problem.
"NBA lockout" too big, and all headers below it in that column.  Headers before
it in that column are fine.

This is the parser dealing with badly mangled source HTML.
Here's a reduced version of the problem:
<CENTER>
  </FONT>
  <FONT face=arial,helvetica size=1>
    Centered arial size=1 [BREAK]
  </CENTER>
</FONT>
</FONT>

<FONT face=arial,helvetica size=1>
  <B>
    <FONT size=2>Bold Arial font size=2</B>
  </FONT>
  <P>
    <FONT color=maroon>Maroon Arial font size=1</FONT>
    <BR>
    <FONT size=2>
      <B>Bold Arial font size=2</B>
    </FONT>
    [ Arial font size=1 ]
    <BR clear=all>
    <FONT size=-2>
      <CENTER>Centered Arial size=1
  <P>
    <CENTER>Centered Arial size=1
  <P>
    <FONT size=-1>
      <B>Bold Arial size=2
        <BR>
      </FONT>
    </B>
    Centered Arial size=1
  </P>
</CENTER>
</CENTER>
</FONT>
</FONT>

I think this is yours now.

Comment 6

Nope. There are still parser DTD issues. This is a lack of style tag
propogation.

Specifically, in the recuced sample: The second <FONT face=arial,helvetica
size=1> isn't propogating into the following <P> tag.
