Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016

This is a really strange problem I've encountered, and it might possibly be a
'it only happens for me and no-one else' issue, but anyway:

A website I maintain, www.legolas.com, on the front page has two PNGs, one of
which is above the test on the page, and one of which is favicon-sized and below
the text.  The website loads pretty much perfectly in every browser I've tried
it in, including Mozilla (and 1.2b), except for 1.2.  In 1.2, it ignores the
font formatting, puts a broken image placeholder for the top PNG and loads the
bottom PNG.  I have the site on my local machine, in my bookmarks, called by a
file:// reference.  That loads in an identically broken fashion (or loads
perfectly in previous Mozilla versions and other browsers).  Another site I have
on the same server (www.copsys.co.uk) also has PNGs in and loads fine.  My
server has the png mimetype set up.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open mozilla navigator
2. URL bar: www.legolas.com
3. look at page :-))

Actual Results:  
In 1.2, it ignores the font formatting, puts a broken image placeholder for the
top PNG and loads the bottom PNG.  I have the site on my local machine, in my
bookmarks, called by a file:// reference.  That loads in an identically broken
fashion (or loads perfectly in previous Mozilla versions and other browsers).

Expected Results:  
Loaded the page in the same way as it has done in previous versions.

What I've done to test this problem:

1.  Manually deleted the Mozilla cache folder contents
2.  Created another profile pointing at a different user and different directory
3.  Uninstalled Mozilla 1.2 (also removing C:\Doc&Set\User\Appdata\Mozilla,
Mozilla app dir, and all mozilla profiles, and checked the registry for any
settings), reboot, reinstall, try steps 1 and 2 again.
4.  Uninstalled Mozilla 1.2 again, installed 1.2b back on, recreate profile etc.
 Test www.legolas.com, works fine.
5.  (as a recheck) uninstall Mozilla 1.2b using method in step 3
6.  Reinstalled Mozilla 1.2, tested, www.legolas.com still loads incorrectly as
does local copy.
7.  Uninstalled Mozilla 1.2, installed 1.2b, tested www.legolas.com, works fine.

I've not observed this behaviour in Mozilla before, nor have I seen similiar
behaviour with other web browsers when viewing my website.

Something I said in my second paragraph that I'd like amend:

I have *a copy* of the website on my machine that I experienced this problem on,
and the site loads in the broken manner I described on Mozilla 1.2 (and loads
fine on 1.2b and other web browsers from local machine).

I've just tested the problem on my laptop as well, exact same problem occurs,
then fixed when downgrading to mozilla 1.2b.  My laptop is also running win2k.

There are a few bugs that only affect 1.2, see bug 182500 and bug 182506. Have
you tried a trunk (1.3a) nightly?

This is an instance of bug 182500.

Comment 5

[Mike Coppins]

I assume the 1.3a trunk nightly resides in:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest-trunk ?

Comment 6

[Scott Kitterman]

With Mozilla 1.2, I get the same result (Win98SE machine).  With the latest
nightly I have, 2002112607, the page renders as expected (Win2K SP3 machine).

Re comment 5: yes.

Confirming and changing component to that of bug 182500

Comment 8

[Mike Coppins]

works fine with:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021129

Comment 9

[Mike Coppins]

works fine with mozilla 1.2.1/win32 as well.

PS - I don't know whether I should be closing this ticket or someone else does...

I have tested that this bug was an instance of bug 182500 / bug 182253 based on
comparison of two Linux builds compiled with gcc 3.2.  This bug was present in
the 1.2 release and was the only bug fixed in the 1.2.1 release (and the reason
for the 1.2.1 release).

Marking this bug as fixed since it should be fixed in the 1.2.1 release.
