210459 - Unwanted line break incorrectly inserted at list item

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect)

Description

[Eelis]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030623 Mozilla Firebird/0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030623 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

See URL, an unwanted page break is incorrectly inserted before the list item.
I've take a screenshot of what it looks like on my system:
http://eelis.net/mozilla-bug.png

I've isolated the problem as much as possible, even the space between <ul> and
<li> in the body line somehow contributes to the circumstances spawning the
problem. The code has been verified as being valid Strict XHTML by the W3C HTML
validator.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Goto URL.
Actual Results:  
I see this: http://eelis.net/mozilla-bug.png

Expected Results:  
It shouldn't have inserted the page break; "bla" should be displayed right next
to the list bullet, at the same horizontal level.

changing summary.
changing product and component as I can also see this Mozilla (seamonkey)...

Just for note: ol element acts like the same behavior.

->Parser, although probably invalid.  Using <a/> is not within the guidelines
for sending XHTML as text/html.  We're treating <a/> as a start-tag, as we
should for text/html.

Yeah, you have to use an XML MIME-type if you're going to do that for elements 
not normally empty in HTML. INVALID.
