Can you provide a reduced testcase ?

Attachment: minimal testcase

I think if you were to add "list-style-position: inside;" to the UL CSS it
would produce the desired effect.  Since you eliminated the padding inside the
UL, there was nowhere to put the bullets outside the list block.

Default for list-style-position is "outside", so this is probably the intended
behavior.

The rendering is correct given the styles on that page.

Comment 4

[José Jeria]

Shouldn't this be Tech Evangelism then?

Comment 5

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

If we really care, sure.  Do we have anyone actually doing evangelism?

Comment 6

[José Jeria]

I dunno, but I see activity on some Tech Evangelism bugs, but ususally that is
just people that found the bug due to that they see the same issue

At least the issue is filed in bugzilla and new bugs on the same issue can be
duplicated

This problem is pretty common. I always try to give authors the list-style-position:inside; advice.

However, the website in question seems to be redesigned as I can't reproduce the problem here.
