291997 - Firefox does not show bulletpoints or numbers in unordered and ordered lists

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Luis Sanchez]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

In all pages with ordered and unordered lists, the bullets and/or numbers will
not show up.  I have looked at many pages and any with ordered/unordered list
have the problem of the list items not having numbers or bullets.  This is just
a random bug that it seems no one has noticed.

Reproducible: Always

Do you have a specific page or link that this happens on, or is it all pages? 

This has to be caused by either an extension, a corrupt profile, or something
else specific to you. Bugs as significant as these don't go unnoticed by
millions of users.

Gavin this might qualify uner XHTML rendering

This bug strikes again in perfectly valid xhtml markup under FireFox 1.0.6
release windows 2k and XP. Two possibly better examples of where this bug occurs
at are at the currently locations:

http://lussumo.com/community/

in the upper right hand area of the page, the page number listing "< 1 2 3 4
5...12". It could take a couple refreshes to give you entirely different
results. However this is an unordered list displayed as an inline element.
You'll notice it when either the numbers start to disappear (view source, it's
all there) or it will appear as something caused it to shift up or down
destroying the border and alignment underneath in the process.

Another example is in the docuwiki bullet points found here:

http://lussumo.com/docs/doku.php

As the above page loads (depending on your connection) you'll see the bullet
points for each item appear to rerender and flow down as they replace with their
replacement style. What does not happen is that in some cases the little
aqua/blue squares working as the replacement style bullet point do not rerender
completely or in some cases at all when visible on the screen. However if you
scroll down, the others have been rendered perfectly as intended. Scrolling back
up sometimes fills in the ones missed in the first pass.

What's strange about this one, is that under local tests, the bug does not
present itself, you can refresh for hours and not see anything. Under a remote
server test, it crops up as the page displays. No about:config hacks have even
been made under any of thse browsers. The elements should be present on the
screen as they're rendered to experience this bug.

The reporter here said "all pages", which I would doubt means "all XHTML pages"
given the relative lack of such pages on the Internet. In any case, this is
invalid, if there are any specific XHTML bugs that are not duplicates, they
sould be filed seperately.
