125927 - Multiple DD support can't handle too many definitions

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 183982

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020204
BuildID:    Mozilla 0.9.8 Build ID: 2002020406

Good:  Mozilla can support multiple DD entries for a single DT in a DL
(Definition List), as can bee seen on the aformentioned web page in the "New at
VNUG" section.  All other browsers seem to be able to handle this too.

Bad:  Mozilla can't support a large number of DD entries for a single DT in a
DL, as can be seen on the aformentioned web page in the "Network News" section.
 It works fine in all other browers though.

In a definition list (DL), it is important that each definition title (DT)
should be able to support a large number of definition data (DD) entries.  In
the English Language dictionary, I've seen words with dozens of definitions in
some cases, so it's a realistic expectation that the browsers should be able to
support this too.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit the web page:  http://www.vnug.org/


Actual Results:  Each DD element, when there are a large number of them, are not
each placed on a separate line of text.

Expected Results:  Each DD element, even when there are a large number of them,
should be placed on a separate line of text.

Other browsers that yield correct results are:

- Netscape v4.79
- Netscape v6.2.1
- Internet Exploder (who cares what version I'm using because it's a piece of
**** because Microsoft made it)
- Opera v6
- Lynx (the text-based browser)

Help!  I keep getting eMails about this bug, but I don't see any updates.  Am I
missing something?  It's very confusing.  Thanks.

Marking this a dup of bug 183982... the real problem is the same, and that bug
has a good testcase.
