I have attached an HTML file that works in IE but not Firefox. The 'here' text
should be a link, but is not interpreted as such. However, the 'ici' text does
display and act like a link. I have pasted the HTML in the 'additional
information' below.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.display the yyyy.html
2.
3.

Attachment: reporter's testcase

in the future, please attach files to bugs rather than copying and pasting.

Comment 2

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

There's another div positioned over the "here" text that captures the click events.
