297901 - Certain sections of document are missing in Firefox, because they are surrounded with <![CDATA[> and <![CDATA[]]&gt;]]>

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 27403

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Robert Dibley]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

This page contains a number of sections of pre-formatted code, which simply
don't appear in Firefox.  Do a search for "this:", and immediately below there
should be a small section showing a simple 2d matrix.  

Copying the relevant section of HTML into a standalone file showed that removing
the <![CDATA[> tags fixes the problem, so presumably either the way they are
being used is incorrect (sorry, but my knowledge of such things is too limited
to say - I just know that TIDY doesn't object to it) or there is something wrong
with the way Firefox is interpretting this.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open specified web page
2. search for this:
3. check for presence of small matrix like this :
a b
b c


Actual Results:  
expected text was missing

Expected Results:  
shown the text
