Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 43267

(Core Graveyard :: View Source, defect)

Description

[Daniel Faber]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

Mozilla sometimes shows a wrong source code of the page.  There is a missing
quotation mark in my example source code, but Mozilla seems to correct this
while rendering the page.  But when viewing the page source, Mozilla displays
the corrected version but not the original page source.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. visit http://www.fsi.uni-tuebingen.de/users/faber/bugs/mozilla1.html
2. press ctrl+u to view the page source
Actual Results:  
I see the source code and it looks like this:

[...]
 <p><a href="http://www.mozilla.org">Mozilla</a></p>
[...]

Expected Results:  
The source code of this page is

[...]
 <p><a href="http://www.mozilla.org>Mozilla</a></p>
[...]

_without_ the second quotation mark.  Please compare with another browser.

I really miss the old netscape that blinked at error points
