User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030504 Mozilla Firebird/0.6 StumbleUpon/1.63
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030504 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

Using Firebird 0.6 (Gecko/20030504) on both Linux and Mac OS X the first doesn't
shows underline under the text while the second does..

I have this problem also with version 1.3 and 1.4b of mozilla and both using "u"
tag in html or CSS.

I searched for this bug cause it seemed strange to me that no one reported it
but I didn't found anything so here I am.. sorry if is a duplicate.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a simple html page with some underlined text
2. open it with mozilla

Actual Results:  
No underlined text appear..

Expected Results:  
Showed it

wfm linux build 2003050714 (1.4b release), and Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586;
en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030508 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.

do you have a custom stylesheet? (eg, chrome/userContent.css in your profile
directory.)
did you try using a new install and a new profile?

[Giovanni Derks]

No, I haven't a custom stylesheet and yes, I tried to start with a brand new
profile.. But I was wrong about a thing I reported..

Problem doesn't happen always.. This time I've done more accurate tests.. to
reproduce it I followed the following steps:

- created a html file that points to an external css
- in the css create a style for the "td" tag specifying font size and face.
- in the html file i've added a table with one row and one column
- inside the table i've put a string that should be underlined cause I used the
"u" tag ..

and with linux it isn't underlined.. With Mac OS X (same version of firebird as
I told) it works fine.

Giovanni

I still can't reproduce it, on either moz 1.4b or firebird (w/ or w/o StumbleUpon).

Comment 8

[Giovanni Derks]

..strange.. On the attachment you posted, wich correctly points to the css
online here, I still have no underline..

What can I try to do?

thanks.

p.s.
StumbleUpon was completly removed after I created the new profile..

Comment 9

[wacheo]

umm.. not much I can think of. Can you check if it is related to bug 195573?

Comment 10

[Giovanni Derks]

Personally I can't say it is related, cause I see underline on mozilla.org's
links, but maybe it is..

I'm using Mandrake 9.1 with XFree 4.3.0.. if you want I can try to use the
version 1.3 of mozilla from mandrake's rpm .. (now I'm using the mozilla
installer version and the nightly of phoneix that i just uncompressed) ..

I would like to know if other people using mdk 9.1 can reproduce the problem
opening the attachment..

bye,
Giovanni
