195552 - The acronym and abbr tags treat line breaks in the HTML as significant if they occur within their respective title attributes.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 67127

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Feneric]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030212
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030212

If source HTML contains a line break within the title attribute of an acronym or
abbr tag, Mozilla treats it as significant and attempts to render it in the
pop-up  displayed for the acronym or abbr rather than just treating it as white
space.

For example, if the acronym SCUBA is written thusly:

<acronym title="Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus">SCUBA</acronym>

everything is fine, but if it is written like this:

<acronym title="Self-Contained Underwater Breathing
Apparatus">SCUBA</acronym>

then Mozilla does funny things.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to view some HTML with an acronym or abbr with a title that crosses a
logical line.

Actual Results:  
On my system, I see a graphic character and a bunch of white space in the middle
of the acronym or abbr pop-up.

Expected Results:  
The line break should have just been treated as a single space and the pop-up
should have been displayed without graphics characters and extra space.
