Visual rendering of the bug.
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; fr; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; fr; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0
When displaying a fully validated html 4.01 document with empty list elements in an ordered list, the empty items are overriden by the next element.
I can see that because of the graphical bullets (here, it is a numeric value) are overriden by the next element.
the bug happens only when an item is NOT closed : <li> without </li>. (but it is still a valid html4 document.
for instance, let's say there's a document with an ordered list (<ol>) with four items (<li>). All items are filled with a few characters (to get only one line when rendered), except the second line which is empty. The first item is normally displayed. The second is not displayed (since it is empty), BUT its number has been painted where it should have been if the item was not empty. The third is drawn over the second in order to fill the gap, and its number is drawn too, overriding the second item's. The fourth is correctly displayed.
If there are ten empty items (<li>), the renderer draws the numbers over and over every times.
Here is the document I wrote :
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html41/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=cp1251">
<title>Test page</title>
</head>
<body>
<ol>
<li>element 1
<li>element 2
<li>element 3
<li><!-- element 4 -->
<li>element 5
<li><!-- element 6 -->
<li>element 7
<li><!-- element 8 -->
<li>element 9
</ol>
</body>
</html>
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Load the HTML file in any Firefox version > 2 (not tested under firefox 2) even nightly builds.
Actual Results:
The renderer displays weird characters.
Expected Results:
Well, I don't know :
- displaying the empty list items
- avoid displaying anything, even the number of the item.
In any case : have an explicit policy about that with these elements, since it could happen to CSS rendered elements with "list-style : xxx" rules, I guess.
This is Gecko-related stuff, so unless I'm asked to be more explicit, no additional information is required.
