(Toolkit :: View Source, defect)

Description

[Jon Wiley]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040917 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040917 Firefox/0.10

View selection source seems to be pre-processing the source and rendering it
differently from the actual source. The referenced document shows it changing
properly closed XHTML tags into unclosed HTML-style tags. It also changes the
greater-than symbol in the source into its encoded entity equivalent. Originally
discovered by Rob Lifford on a Windows machine.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. View source
2. View selection source
3. Compare

Actual Results:  
View selection source appears different from actual source or view source

Expected Results:  
Both view source and view selection source should deliver the actual document source
