Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 102131

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[Fred]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030816

On some pages, specifically some at ebay, the text does not wrap properly.  I
don't know whether it is a badly coded web page, but I do know that if I view
the same page in Safari, it does wrap properly.  The like I provided is an
auction that closes in about 5 hours from the time I have entered this report. 
But the seller has several other entries that will be open for the next couple
of days.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just go to the website listed above and it happens.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The text does not wrap properly

Expected Results:  
It should have wrapped the text around so it was not necessary for me to scroll
left to right using the scroll bar on the bottom of the page.

It's all those broken images between the blue area and the final product image.
 Mozilla renders them as empty boxes along the same horizontal row (stretching
the page width), while IE renders them as dimensionless.

I see this in a recent Mozilla trunk build on win2k but the issue is the auction
owner used MS word to create an HTML Document which was included inline in the
page. This particular auction is closed but I will dupe it against the MS office
foo stuff.
