bug 200109 has been filed on a similiar case with another US Airways page. The
overflow on that page is as expected and a matter of overflow differences
between browsers / Tech Evangelism. I suspect the same for the pages in comment
2 as a quick scan shows lots of height declarations.

I haven't looked at the original page in this bug yet to know if that's the case
there too.

The USAirways pages are not related to this bug. Please do not add URLs to a bug
as in comment #2 unless you know they are being caused by the same bug.

The URL of this bug (linear.mv.com) WFM in build 2003040604, Win XP.

Comment 6

[Eric Erickson]

Slightly off-topic: Then I'm totally confused about how to report bugs. Bugzilla
specifically asks users not to open duplicate bugs. This bug describes exactly
what I saw on the pages referenced. How am I, a simple user, to know that they
are caused by the same bug?

This bug's summary is too vague.  Would you add additional comments to a bug
with a summary "page doesn't lay out correctly"?  This bug should not have been
confirmed.

(Also, I don't see the problem, and the lack of steps to reproduce doesn't help.)

Marking worksforme.

Comment 9

[Sean McGovern]

In the phrase "This server has a mirror in Australia, the USA and another in the
USA.", part of the word "Australia" is overlayed on the word "in".

Now that I look at the original url (was just triaging the US Airlines site
before) I'm seeing this too... looks like theres some issues with the NOBR
sections and painting as they're all like 1em to the left (or perhaps one em too
wide... i'm not counting pixels)

I've seen this appearance in few bugs before tho (e.g. bug 198664), there may be
a bug out there already.

screen shot coming for this page but

Attachment: screenshot

here's a screen shot with a few bad areas highlighted. After sizing things up
in photoshop the body type (english at least) seems to be 13px Verdana (not
font face defined in page)

So this looks like a Mac-only text measurement bug.

Comment 13

[Sean McGovern]

Looks OK in Camino 2003090102. Can this bug be closed now?

Comment 14

[Chris Casciano]
