143781 - Inconsistant page rendering.

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: Graphics: ImageLib, defect)

Description

[Michael E. Jaggers]

On the web site linuxtoday.com, if the text in the center of the screen does not
extend below the area defined for a block on the right hand side defined to
contain a product, then this product area is displayed incorrectly.

One page where this problem occurs is:
http://linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2002-05-11-003-26-NW-RH-0000

This problem does not occur in IE, or Netscape 4.7x, and has been in rc1, as
well as the nightly builds.

What exactly is the problem?  Could you attach a screenshot pointing it out?

Attachment: Screenshot of malformed page.

Attachment (in .PDF format) shows screenshot of rendering in RC2.  Results
are inconsistant on my Win98 workstation, as the graphic is not always
displayed this way.  Some times the display is correct, but most often is
is bad.

What is consistant is that if the text in the center extends below the
malformed graphic's area, it is displayed correctly.  If the text does
not, then it may not be correctly displayed.

Keep in mind that this is correctly displayed consistantly on other
browsers.

I have not checked this on Netscape 6.x.

To imagelib, marking pp (this works on Linux).
