MOZ 1.1+(buildID 2002071408) and IE6(SP1 and SSP1) have both problems to justify
this page

-> itemized lines are fully justified in MOZ
-> last lines(<p>) are not justified in IE
-> last lines(<p>) are bad justified in MOZ

do you have other pages with the same problem? 

Comment 2

[Vidar Haarr (not reading bugmail)]

Due to my lack of knowledge about bidi-text, I'm not marking this as confirmed.
BUT, I did see exactly the same behavior as described in the bug description.

WinXP trunk build 2002071108

I just tried this pahe again in IE version 6.00.2600.0000.xpclnt_qfe.010827-1803
(under Windows XP professional) and the justifying of the last line in
paragraphs are OK.

Comment 4

I'm able to read the original text of the example, so I can tell you it has
nothing to do with RIGHT align or bidi text. The text should be formatted like this:

-------------------------
   fish  fish  fish  fish 
fish fish fish fish.
-------------------------

Instead of current

-------------------------
   fish  fish  fish  fish 
fish  fish   fish   fish.
-------------------------

Confirming on Build 2002071504/win2000, but gonna check for dupes.

Comment 5

[Wesha]

See bug 1783, it's not exact dupe, but pretty similar (it describes the problem
with justification inside <p>...</p>, and this bug is about <dd>...</dd>)

Comment 6

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Attachment: Minimal testcase

The problem is the missing <dl> and the fact that the combination of the table
and the align="justify" div leads to odd layout if the <dl> is not there.

Comment 7

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

to tables; this has absolutely nothing to do with XP apps -- that's for stuff
_outside_ the content area.

Attachment: another testcase

another testcase, remove table

Comment 9

[Jerry]

according to my testcase, I dont think it is an bug of table.
so change it component to layout.

Comment 10

[Wesha]

Just a reminder: the fact that text in <dd>...</dd> is justified is not a
problem, the problem is that the _last_ line of text in <dd>...</dd> is
justified is.

I think this is working (looks fine to me in FF 1.5 and trunk).

AFAICS looking at the testcases here, this is no longer an issue (see also comment 15). Closing as WFM; if there's a current issue, please provide an updated testcase and description.
