155523 - Horizontal lines appear in center / centre <hr>

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Robin Whittle]

With builds 2002070204 and 2002062808 horizontal lines which are, for instance,
100 pixels wide and specified to be on the left or the right are displayed in
the centre ( center ) for the browser and Composer.  Attempts to alter this with
Composer generated the desired HTML, but still no change in the on-screen display.

This problem did not seem to exist in build 2002061104, so I guess it was
introduced between 11 June and 28 June 2002.

I have examples at:

http://gair.firstpr.com.au/public-files/moz-bug-h-line/t1.html

and a copy of my prefs.js there too.

I have not been able to think of anything to do to Mozilla to stop this.  I
couldn't find mention of it in previous bugs.  Sorry if it is already reported
or if it should be assigned to a component other than Layout.

Confirming.  Yeah, sounds like a layout issue.  The generated HTML to align left
or right looks correct, but the <hr> is always rendered at the center.

This happens whether "Use CSS Styles" is on or off:
<hr width="100" size="2" align="left">
<hr style="width: 100px; height: 2px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: auto;">

This may be related to bug 107122.

Hmm.  It could be that the regression was caused by bug 151054.  However, see
also bug 151059.
