Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect, P3)

Description

[Dale Feinstein]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020204
BuildID:    2002020406

When viewing http://www.srsd.org/~dfeinstein/test.html with Mozilla 0.98 (and
Netscape 6.2.1), the link "Southern Regional School District" appears on one
line.  However, once passing the mouse pointer over this link, this link is
broken into two lines, with "Southern Regional School" on one line and
"District" on the line below.

In this example, a:hover is used in the following manner:

a:hover {color: red; background-color: silver; border-width: 1px; border-color:
black; border-style: dotted; padding: 2px; text-decoration: none;}


When testing http://www.srsd.org/~dfeinstein/test.html in Internet Explorer 5.5
and 6.0, the link remains on one line when passing the mouse pointer over it.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Access http://www.srsd.org/~dfeinstein/test.html
2.  Pass mouse pointer over the link, "Southern Regional School District"


Actual Results:  This link which was previously one line is now broken into two
lines, with "Southern Regional School" on one line, and "District" on the line
below.

Expected Results:  The link, "Southern Regional School District", should have
remained on one line, instead of being broken up into two lines.

Confirming on 2002022603 Win2k. Looks more like a problem with the Style System
than with Event Handling to me, though.

And after you move the mouse back off, the line stays wrapped.

-> layout for first look, but could be tables, or style.
