Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 58917

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

http://www.rmis.rmfamily.com/sites/reguldol.php .. scroll down to bottom of the
page.

State Government / NM-New Mexico is the last line that appears on the current
version of the page.  Although the page changes multiple times a week so that
might be different when you try it.

However... there are 50 more entries after that line in that table cell.. that
don't show up in the browser.

They do show up if you do a view page though .. just not in the browser

When items are added or subtracted to the page, it just stops as a different
place, indicating to me that there is some character limitation placed on how
many characters can appear in a table cell.

MSIE displays the entire page correctly.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.explained above
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
page displayed is not complete

Expected Results:  
displayed the entire page downloaded.. and I verified that it was completely
downloaded... just didn't display in the browser. 

I labelled the bug as critical because people using Mozilla should not be
worried about whether or not they are really allowed to see the entire page
downloaded or not.

I personally cannot use Mozilla anymore until this is fixed... and all the staff
who current use Mozilla will have to switch to MSIE until this is fixed.

There are 672 FONT start tags but only 356 FONT end tags on that page.
If I globally replace "<font" with "</font><font" then the page displays fine.
