22736 - Mozilla forgets fonts and styles with DIV-tags

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 991

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[Jarto Tarpio]

The above link contains a test page for Mozilla. The page contains three links
that should all be times roman, size 4, bold and italics. The size and style
varies a lot though based on where the DIV-tag is.

Check the page and it's source for details.

Thanks for the bug report and the very clear test case. Speaking technically,
<FONT> may contain %inline; elements only, and <DIV> is a %block; element --
so, the M12 code was doing the _technically_ right thing in this case.

However, for (good) compatibility reasons, this requirement was relaxed. The
code to allow FONT to carry into %blocks; was landed after M12. Using WinNT
1999122208 (i.e., post M12), all three examples in the test case have identical
appearance.

So, marking this as a DUPLICATE of the very famous bug #991 (although could be
WORKSFORME).

SPAM. HTML Element component deprecated, changing component to Layout. See bug
