264883 - microsoft.com - Newlines not rendering correctly on ms site pages

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 255117

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English US, defect)

Description

[caron williams]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3

Code example(s) is(are) not rendered with newlines; works OK in IE. If this is a
user preference I have not found where to set it. Other 'pages' on this site
show the same error. Copy/paste to Notepad shows newlines.

Although this is in itself a cosmetic bug, in this particular group of instances
it's severe as it makes the code samples virtually unreadable. I have to wonder
if this is a deliberate ploy on MS part.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.navigate to url above
2.look at code examples
3.repeat with IE or copy/paste code sample from Firefox to Notepad

Actual Results:  
Newlines rendered correctly in IE and Notepad

Expected Results:  
Render newlines where intended

Good work guys - please keep it up and be encouraged!
