156767 - Form fields invisible due to HTML scunge

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 58917

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1a) Gecko/20020611
BuildID:    2002061104

Okay, this is really badly written HTML but that happens. I will attach the
sample file in a followup. This file has excessive <font> tags scattered around
the form fields. The fields don't display. 

This works in Netscape4 and IE 5&6.

Work around is to write good HTML, but I suspect this was done by some WYSIWYG tool.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the form posted in the followup.
2. Compare to another browser, such as IE or NS4.

Actual Results:  Only one field visible

Expected Results:  All fields visible.
