265638 - View Source does not show ACTUAL source in at least one case

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 43267

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect)

Description

[Jeff Chausse]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1

I happened to notice that there is at least one case in which "View Source" does
not show the ACTUAL source code.  I just happened to have the following invalid
source code in an HTML file:

<h2">Foo</h2>

When I viewed this source in Firefox, it shows up as:

<h2>Foo</h2>

This code was causing bad rendering in IE, but since I do most of my work in
Firefox, it was impossible to spot this error in Firefox.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an HTML file containing only: <h2">Foo</h2>
2. Open in Firefox
3. View Source

Actual Results:  
View source window showed:

<h2>Foo</h2>

Expected Results:  
View Source window should have shown:

<h2">Foo</h2>

This might be a dup of bug 70828.

Similar to bug 262562, which was marked duplicate of bug 43267.

Yeah, it's a dupe. The fixes for these sorts of bugs are too risky to be put on
the 1.0 branch, so Firefox 1.0 will still have these.
