138742 - overlapping text

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[Sean Egan]

I see this in a lot of places.  Bits of text with different styles (different
colors, faces, etc.) will overlap.

Definately dependent on the font face being used.  The font specified on
advogato is lucida--and anything rendered in lucidia suffers from this bug.

[Kai Lahmann (is there, where MNG is)]

10.RC1 Linux and nothing overlaps... could you make a screenshot? And maybe a
testcase..? And try a new profile/Mozilla install before that all :)

I've been seen this behavior on http://www.homestead.com/sattvrepair/index.html
for as long as I can remember. I have to guess anyone using Homestead's web
page creation package is likely to be creating similar font overlapping.

Confirmed. Not Linux only.

Reproduced on Mozilla 1.0 Release Candidate 1 Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.0 (X11;
Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020326

I can't reproduce this in the Mozilla executable, only in Galeon--perhaps this
is actually a Galeon bug, or Galeon and the mozilla executable are using a
different font for Lucidia.

Attached is a screenshot

The font Galeon is using when this happens is:
B&H-Lucida-Medium-R-Normal-Sans-18-180-75-75-P-106-ISO8859-2

Not sure if it's the same bug, but look at the screenshot taken from

Attachment: screenshot

On Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1a) Gecko/20020613,

happens even on some simple pages like
<http://www.sims.berkeley.edu/~ping/sid/>,
with standard fonts. I don't know if it hasn't been mentioned before because
it's too obvious, but it happens only for particular window widths.

This may be a dupe of bug 148399.

Comment 15

[Felix Miata]

URL in comment 3 is now unusable in Mozilla. Evangelism bug 152077 filed.

Comment 16

[Andrew Schultz]

the most recent screenshot might be bug 148399, but the earlier screenshots are
not.  bug 148399 started occuring on 5-28-2002

Comment 17

[Jeremy M. Dolan]

Are you guys still seeing this on recent trunk builds, now that 148399 is fixed?
Try with a nightly now...

Comment 18

[Felix Miata]

Please ignore comment 15. That fault was UA string, not page code.

URL in comment 3 now displays OK in OS/2 trunk 2002061908 and w32 trunk 2002061808.

Comment 19

[Stefan Borggraefe]

All the URLs in this bug look ok now with Build 2002061908 on WinXP.

Comment 20

[Sean Egan]

All the pages render properly on 2002062011 on Linux i686.

Comment 21

[Andrew Schultz]
