129536 - missing indenting after sub-definition lists

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 117738

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect, P4)

Description

[stevenj]

Inside a definition list (<dl>), paragraphs (<p>) inside a definition item
(<dd>) are normally indented the same as the definition item, just as you would
expect. However, if a definition item contains a sub-definition list, then
paragraphs after the sub-definition list are not indented.  See the above URL
for a simple example.  I don't think that this is desirable or correct behavior.

Netscape 4.x and Internet Explorer 5.x indent as you would expect.

(I am using Mozilla 0.9.8, build 2002020411, for MacOS X.)

Thanks for looking into this; keep up the great work!

Cordially,
Steven G. Johnson

worksforme (looks identical to NS4)

Looks like bug 106746 probably fixed this...

I don't understand your "worksforme"...your screenshot reproduces the problem. 
The "BUG" line is flush left, whereas it should logically be indented parallel
with the "Blarg"!

It is interesting that you report that some versions of NS4 have the same
behavior, whereas others (e.g. IE/Mac and OmniWeb) don't.  I still think it is
undesirable, and that the other browsers are right.

I should mention that NS 4.07 and 4.77 for Mac have what I consider the
"correct" indenting behavior; I'm not sure what version of NS you are using.

This bug has been marked "future" because the original netscape engineer working 
on this is over-burdened. If you feel this is an error, that you or another
known resource will be working on this bug,or if it blocks your work in some way
 -- please attach your concern to the bug for reconsideration.
