Details

in the center frame on the page the opening news statment contains this html,
<BR><B>
<FONT COLOR="gray" FACE="arial" SIZE=1>
 November 10, 1999 <BR>
<FONT COLOR="lightslategray" FACE="arial" SIZE=3>
 Engine & Demo update  <FONT FACE="arial" SIZE=1></B>

mozilla ignores the </B> and the whole news article is boldfaced instead of a
normal typeface (windows 98, SE) build ID: 1999111408

This is a dup of the residual style bug. In fact, it may already be fixed with
ENABLE_RESIDUALSTYLE.
Further reduced:

<B>
 <FONT>
   November 10, 1999 <BR>
</B>
Not bold

In the above example the text "Not bold" is rendered BOLD in Nav 4.x and Gecko.
However, IE doesn't.

This is fixed when you enable residual style handling.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 991 ***
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
Agreed. Marking as verified duplicate of 991.
Actually, this is displaying the same way in Gecko and Nav. Note that nav
displays this incorrectly, and we do too for compatibilities sake.

Closing this out. Based on NavX quirks mode, this is NOT a bug.
