13441 - Jigsaw home page is not rendered/layouted properly with M9

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[Roland Mainz]

My M9 build (Solaris 7 SPARC) and the "official" Win32 M9 build does not layout
the given URL properly. The "news&highlights"-box contains only one word per
line...

I think the current layout is correct.  Floats without a width given (i.e., the
default auto width) should, according to CSS, have width 0 [1] (possibly
overridden by a browser-specific min-width [2]).

Someone should probably tell the authors of the page.

me

As david said, it's a bug in the css for the page. DIV.body has no specified
width, and the sections of the spec that david quoted apply. Gecko is doing the
right thing.

Based on kipp's remarks, marking as verified invalid.
