I've had problems on a few pages with hyperlinks that go to the wrong URL when I
click on them. I've distilled one of them down to a sample document. The <b> and
<h5> tags overlap the <a> tags. The problem seems to be related to the
overlapping tags being inside of the <p>.
<html><body>
<style>
a:link { color : blue }
a:hover { color : red }
</style>
<p>
<a href="#Link1"><b><h5>Link 1</a> |
<a href="#Link2">Link 2</a></h5></b>
</p>
Plain text (no link)
</body></html>
Copy the above HTML to a file and open it in Firefox. What I get is all of the
text becomes a hyperlink using the Link 1 URL including the plain text. When I
hover over Link 2, both Link 1 and Link 2 get the hover style applied.
If you removed the paragraph tags:
<html><body>
<style>
a:link { color : blue }
a:hover { color : red }
</style>
<a href="#Link1"><b><h5>Link 1</a> |
<a href="#Link2">Link 2</a></h5></b>
Plain text (no link)
</body></html>
Then the links work just fine and the plain text looks like plain text.
For a real-world test page, try http://www.awfulplasticsurgery.com/.
Contains overlapping <b>, <h5> and <a> tabs NOT in a <p>.

The symptoms of this bug are fixed by the patch in bug 142771, however, the
content model of this example is still pretty messed up. I'm not sure if that
part of it is a dupe, though, so I'll leave this as unconfirmed.
Depends on: 142771
