275038 - Web page formatted using <PLAINTEXT> does not format. Text wraps in a jumble.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 38176

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Mark Richards]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041122 MultiZilla/1.6.4.0b
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041122 MultiZilla/1.6.4.0b

The web link http://dar.linux.free.fr/man/man.php3?command=dar appears properly
in Firefox 1 and in ie (although I always hesitate to use ie), but in Mozilla
1.8a5 it does not format at all.  The text wraps rather than observe the
embedded /r in the text.


Reproducible: Always




I have not tested this in the current stable build of Mozilla.

We don't support <plaintext>.  That was obsolete back in HTML 1.0.

Sorry, I searched and didn't locate that bug.

Wonder if whatever is being done with Firefox to handle <PLAINTEXT> could be
folded into Mozilla?

Thanks for considering...

I'm seeing the same rendering in FF 20041215 trunk and Moz 1.8a5.

I may have been mistaken to dup this to 38176, but I still don't see a bug.
