214083 - Inlined images at www.theinquirer.net not displayed

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: Layout: Images, Video, and HTML Frames, defect)

Description

[slice1900]

I've filed this for 1.4 branch and Linux, but it has been around forever so is
probably present on the trunk as well.  I'm seeing it right now on 1.4final on
Redhat 7.2, as well as on the contrib 1.4final gtk2 build on Redhat 8.0, but it
has been around for probably close to a year, maybe more.  Dunno about whether
it happens on Mac and Windows, my hunch is it probably doesn't.  If no one beats
me to it when I have more time later this week I'll grab the latest nightly
build and try it on Linux & Windows.

If you view the able URL using Netscape 4.8 or IE, you seem the image of a
keyboard inlined in the article, which is the desired behavior.  Mozilla shows
nothing.  Images like this at theinquirer.net went away some number of versions
ago, I don't know if it was a change on their end or Mozilla's -- since I know
nothing about HTML I can't tell if what I see in View Source for the image is
done correctly or not.  When I do Page Info and click on the Media tab, it shows
the image as 0 px in height and width.  Perhaps this is why Mozilla doesn't
display it?

I don�t see nothing special in the source, but thanks for the nice link ;-)
Below an excerpt from the source, and the HTTP header from fetching the image:

<div id="article_body_content"><b>KEYBOARDS ARE</b> just keyboards right? Not
anymore. Just like cell phones are turning into game machines, PDAs and remote
controls, keyboards seem to be gobbling up anything in sight. The latest crop of
keyboards from the big two, Logitech and MS, all have scroll wheels on the left,
and enough function keys on top to confuse you for hours. The Logitech Elite
Keyboard I just bought is no exception.<p>


	Lets start out with the good parts. I plugged it in, and it worked. The keys
feel really good, and have a little click to them. They also go down further
with a lighter touch than my old IBM that has no model number or part number on
its label. So far, so good, it feels really good to type on this keyboard. The
only physical problem was that I kept hitting Caps Lock when I was hitting
shift, but after about half an hour of use, that went away. Overall, the initial
impression was real good. <p>

keyboard</b></small><p>

	Looking over the "manual", something you must do if you are trying to review
something, I got my first laugh.

OK, this is weird.  On my RH8.0 system it DOES work, I was incorrect in my
earlier statement.  Since it seems I'm the only one seeing this, it may be my
profile or other configuration stuff.  I will be home again at the end of the
week, I will see if deleting and recreating my profile fixes things on the RH7.2
system, since I have been using the same profile for at least six months now and
I've had a few odd issues in the past fixed by this method.  Hopefully that'll
fix it and this can be closed.

Sorry, forgot to follow up on this.  Deleting and recreating my profile on the
RH 7.2 machine did the trick there, so this can be closed as invalid.

[Erik Corry]

I'm getting this now.  If I make a new profile and copy all the files over from
the old one then the problem disappears.  Copy them all back and it reappears.

I guess this means that the problem is in the registry file appreg or perhaps
pluginreg.dat.  Would I be revealing private data (over and above my name) if I
attached them here?
