User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:58.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/58.0 Build ID: 20180206200532 Steps to reproduce: 1. Open the following url: (https://jsfiddle.net/FrankPrins/0Luqa5hy/) 2. Observe that the source code has only one "a"-element that is not properly closed 3. Inspect the element 4. Observe that the output has 4 "a"-elements in the constructed DOM. One is constructed at the original location, but three others are constructed each at the end of the next parent. Actual results: The element is constructed more than once. Expected results: The expected behavior is that the "a"-element is only terminated before the end of the parent as this is the only valid way to try to resolve the developer induced error. It is definitely not expected to have the element constructed more than once.
