From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020610 Debian/1.2.5-1 BuildID: 20020610 A HTML comment (<-- ... -->) containing a double dash/minus (--) causes the rest of the document to be interpreted as a comment. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Load http://irancy.lis.inpg.fr/~bonnaud/foo.html in the browser. Actual Results: "text1 text3" is displayed. In the HTML source view, "text2" is colorized as a comment. Expected Results: "text1 text2 text3" should be displayed. If I remove the XHTML DocType, the bug goes away.
See <URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/intro/sgmltut.html#h-3.2.4>. This is correct. INVALID.
