I see the exact same rendering in IE6, FF 1.0 final, and trunk 20041113 PC/WinXP.

Reporter, could you please clearly describe the problem such that someone who
doesn't have IE (which covers a number of developers on this project) would know
what you're talking about?

It looks like once in a while one of the links in the table doesn't render and
instead shows its HTML code, which is long and expands the table (bug 95067 and
bug 136839).

The question is, why don't the links render sometimes?

What are the steps to reproduce that problem?  Can you create a minimal
testcase?  Preferably one that reproduces it consistently?

Reload till you see it. You could also try clearing the cache.

No.

When the page works, the source is
<a href="foo">This is a link</a>

When the page doesn't work, the source is
&lt;a href="foo"&gt;This is a link

When you save either version, the local copy stays the same no matter how many
times you reload.

I believe I've also seen this on the MozillaZine forums main page.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
