147928 - Increasing Indents causes text to be divided from 1 to 2 lines

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, defect)

Description

[Jay Farrell]

While running the Increase Indent part of this test, I typed in the following 
text:

some text

As I increased the Indent, the 2 words where split onto 2 different lines as
I past the center of the page, such that it looked like:

                                                some
                                                text

I'm not sure if this was intended or not, but I don't like it. If I was to 
continuously ident a bunch of lines (say 10) under each other, eventually the
display will not allow me to utilize the space on the right hand side of the 
screen because the above action will keep each line to only 1 word.

I saw this on both OpenVMS build 20020513 and Linux 2002051009 (both rc2)

Please attach the HTML source of the page as it appears after the wrap occurs
(just save it to a file, and attach the file as plain text). If we do not add a
<br> tag to the content, then this is just how layout is dealing with the high
number of indents that you've added. In which case, you might consider marking
this bug invalid (or filing a bug on our layout engine).

this is invalid; the way indent works is to indent on both sides (blockquote). 
The wrapping you see is the only way that the layout engine can handle your
request for so many "indent" levels.  You can work around this by one of these
means:
 * resize your window to be wider
 * resize your font to be smaller
 * reduce the number of blockquotes you have (indent levels)
 * use alternative to blockquote for indenting (css?)
