Description

[William Oliver]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3.1) Gecko/20030428
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3.1) Gecko/20030428

I have noticed that on a number of web pages, text is mysteriously dropped.  In
the page reference, I looked at the source and found that text started dropping
when the tag "&#150" came up, which is interpreted as a dash in Netscape.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open www.anncoulter.com
2. Look about 2/3 of the way down the page
3.

Actual Results:  
 Lines are skipped

Expected Results:  
Printed the lines

It is also worth noting that – is an invalid character in HTML (SGML in
general). (anything between 0x7f and 0x9f, or 127 and 159 is invalid).
