151514 - text between <code> tags is not shown

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 250478

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

The text in the <code> tag is not displayed. So, instead of "The _ command" it
should be seen "The xrdb command". If you select the text and copy it and paste
it, it is copied ok. On this page there is also some text in <code> tags that
can be seen. This bug can be seen in all the pages of this tutorial. By the way:
to see this page you must register (it's free).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Just go to the page.


Actual Results:  You can see "The _ command"

Expected Results:  You should see "The xrdb command"

I've tried to make a simple html page and include <code>tags. They all can be seen.

I can confirm this bug. When I am using mozilla 1.2b on my Win98 machine to view
the page
https://www6.software.ibm.com/developerworks/education/j-java3d/j-java3d-1-3.html
Instead of the text between the <code></code> tags a "_" is displayed. Same
behavior as in original report.
I noticed that the _ is not an underscore character. It is possible to select
and copy a part of it. It looks like the text is rendered with no height.

I copied some of the source code to 
http://www.ytternhagen.de/hhhh/world/foty/index1.html
but there everything is displayed the right way. I tried to play with the "size"
attribute, but could not make the text infinitely small.
