From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.9+) Gecko/20020328 BuildID: 2002032803 Check this link for example: http://www.elfqrin.com/docs/hakref/portlist.html At a certain point text will become striked through and even further the size becomes smaller. A similar effect, less disturbing than in the above example, can be observed at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/quips.cgi?show_quips=yes Lines starting from "Software is like sex: it's better when it's free" -- Linus Torvalds are shown in italics Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to one of the given links 2. Scroll down Actual Results: Corrupted text appear Expected Results: Text should appear normal
The error on the first page is that an email address inbetween some angle brackets is being interpreted as a strikeout tag. The address is (in relevant part) s.name@name.com The second page is not being displayed incorrectly at all. The problem is that someone put a closing italic tag before the opening tag on the line above. It's annoying, but not Mozilla's fault ;-)
mmm... I think this bug can be marked as INVALID, yet I don't think tags like <s.anything_here> should be interpreted as <S> . May be another bug about this should be filed.
