1514506 - Superfluous spaces get introduced in HTML signatures

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Frank]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0

Steps to reproduce:

I created a HTML signature with indented passages (by real tabs), like:

```
<p>
	Text
</p>
```


Actual results:

The HTML parser somehow produces one additional space letter at the end, i.e. `Text` becomes `Text `.

This is not the case, when I put both `p` tag parts in the same line as:
`<p>Text</p>`, so somehow the HTML parser converts the newline to a space here.


Expected results:

When I try that code on my Apache webserver inside a webpage and watch the output in Firefox, I don’t get this space introduced at the end. So the parser seems to have an issue here.

Well, the newline after Text is converted into a white-space character. Paste this into a HTML file:
<p>
  Text
</p>
and open in Firefox. There is white-space after Text that you can select.
