I think this one has already been reported, but I've never seen it as clearly as
on the specified URL. The problem is that the text is rendered outside the
textarea allocated to it and often runs past the end of the screen.

I am flagging this as higher priority because I see this issue on a lot of pages
and rendering simple HTML properly is something any 1.0 browser should really do
(so don't go 1.0 without fixing this!) :)

[Bill Mason]

This is broken in FF 1.0PR but works in the 20040919 FF trunk.

Presumably this behavior is something that was fixed already on the trunk, but
is not in the FF branch.

Comment 2

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

If this works on trunk, then it's already fixed.  I doubt it's worth trying to
locate the fix and backport it to branch (and given that scrolling is involved,
the fix is likely to not be very back-portable).
