197075 - 
 entitites give two newlines in the DOM (CRLF gives two line breaks)

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts, defect)

Description

[Ken Johanson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030303
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030303

Inside of <PRE>, if CR-LFs pairs were converted by the webserver to their HTML
meta characters (&#13;&#10;), Mozilla renders them as two lines. Other browsers
render a single line.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://www.onnet.cc/mozzNewlines.html in Moz.
2. Open same URL in NS4 or IE.


Actual Results:  
NS4 and IE render a single newline per pair. Moz renders two. Note that the same
string inside the sample TEXTAREA does render okay.

Expected Results:  
Should render the one line, similar to a raw CRLF does already inside of
<PRE></PRE>.

Some server-side rawtext-to-html char translators convert (char)10 and (char)13,
and (char)9 among others, to their HTML meta equivs to effect html-obfuscation
or perhaps some level of cross-site scripting or form safety.

Parser.  We're ending up with two newlines in the content model....

Confirmed.

Not a parser bug. Maybe a layout bug or not a bug at all.

I'm claiming this is not a bug, but see bug 557197.
