Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

In the page at http://cplus.about.com/od/beginnerctutorial/l/aa020502a.htm,
several question marks (�����) show up where it appears that tabs should
actually be. So if a paragraph begins with a tab then Firefox displays '�����'

I looked at this same page in IE and Opera and the question marks do not show.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Goto http://cplus.about.com/od/beginnerctutorial/l/aa020502a.htm
2. Look for this sentence: �����As part of compilation, the C++ compiler runs a
program
3. Each line that should beign with a tab begins with ����� instead

Actual Results:  
�����As part of compilation, the C++ compiler runs a

Expected Results:  
     As part of compilation, the C++ compiler runs a

This may be a different issue requiring a new bug entry, but the page at
http://cplus.about.com/od/cprogrammin1/l/bldef_mutable.htm displays question
marks (?????) within the code sample. IE and Opera do not display the question
marks and instead display what look like tabs.

I am running Firefox 1.0.7 on Windows XP SP2.

Thanks, -Scott

That page works for me too on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;

Please try the latest trunk if you can.

Resolving as WFM based on the comments. If you see this issue again (the pages have since changed) and can reproduce with Firefox 2.0.0.3 or later and with a new profile, please file a new bug.
