Description

[Yusuf Goolamabbas]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030515 Mozilla Firebird/0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030515 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

The above URL claims that the page is best viewed in 800x600 pixels and both IE
6.0 SP1/Windows 2000 and Safari v74/Mac OS X 10.2.6 seem to render it correctly

With both Opera 7.11 and Firebird 0.6/Mozilla 1.4b, the page is much wider than
800 pixels


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit http://www.malumaat.com/ in IE 
2. Visit http://www.malumaat.com/ in Mozilla or Opera
3. Compare the rendering

Actual Results:  
There is a difference in rendering

This page has two flash files.  The width set with the <OBJECT> tag do not match
the width of the <EMBED> tag after you set the <EMBED> width and height
correctly(from the <object>'s width and height) Mozilla is displays it like the
author intended.

IE uses the options from <OBJECT> and mozilla(and opera?) uses the options from
the <EMBED> tag.

Also, see the misrendering in Camino

I'm going to mark this invalid, on the assumption that Jesiah's analysis was
correct. The site no longer exists so it's not possible to verify. If there is
any other site that displays this problem, please reopen the bug.
