Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 180620

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Michael Newton]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030320 Phoenix/0.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030320 Phoenix/0.5

If images are turned off, and you visit a site with an image link, the ALT text
is used as a link.  This is normal.  If you then turn images on and revisit the
site, the image is used as a link.  This is normal.  But if you turn images back
off and revisit the site again, you get no link showing on the page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.clear cache, turn off images, visit http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/windows.html
2.at the bottom of the page (on the right side, above "For questions or
comments...") there are 3 links using image ALT text (bad CSS means you can't
read them, but the cursor will change over them)
3.turn on images and reload the page.  now you can see the images there
4.turn off images and reload the page.

Actual Results:  
the 3 links disappear completely

Expected Results:  
displayed the ALT text as a link again

Please don't report bugs in Phoenix that are likely to be Mozilla ones. More
generally, please read the bug reporting guidelines:
http://www.texturizer.net/phoenix/bugs.html

This seems to be a dupe either of bug 41924 or bug 180620.

Does this work right in builds prior to the evening of the 18th?
