What browser and version are you using? Can you attach a testcase?

Attachment: brief testcase

This testcase does not work in Netscape v7.2 (Mac version), but works in Firefox.

Ah, ok. Bugs needs to be filed against the latest release (preferable the latest trunk build). The latest realease is currently SeaMonkey 1.0.4 (soon 1.0.5). The next featured "version" is 1.1 and there are currently a 1.1a version at http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/ . So, lots of stuff have happened since Netscape 7.2 came out. We also don't accept Netscape bugs in bugzilla.mozilla.org (never had, actually). Anyway, the good news is that the testcase actually works for me with a recent branch build of seamonkey (1.1b build). So, I'm going to mark this bug as "worksforme".
