36717 - [LIST][INLINE-H]whitespace not ignored for list-style-position: inside

Status: REOPENED

(Core :: Layout: Block and Inline, defect)

Description

[David Baron :dbaron: (⌚️UTC-4, no longer working on Mozilla)]

DESCRIPTION:  The whitespace at the beginning of an <li> element should be
ignored, so that <li>stuff</li> and <li> stuff</li> look the same.  This is not
happening correctly for 'list-style-position: inside' (which places the list
marker inside the list item's box).

This is technically a parser issue, but it's rickg's oft-repeated position that
this should happen entirely inside layout.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
 * load attached testcase

ACTUAL RESULTS:
 * second list item separated from bullet more than first

EXPECTED RESULTS:
 * list items separated from bullet by the same amount

DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY ON:
 * Linux, mozilla, 2000-04-20-09-M16

This bug has been marked "future" because the original netscape engineer working 
on this is over-burdened. If you feel this is an error, that you or another 
known resource will be working on this bug,or if it blocks your work in some way 
-- please attach your concern to the bug for reconsideration.

Upon managerial request, adding the "testcase" keyword to 84 open layout bugs that
do not have the "testcase" keyword and yet have an attachement with the word
"test" in the description field. Apologies for any mistakes.

Try to modify text, removing the leading space here: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/layout/generic/nsBulletFrame.cpp#384

Or change the position of the bullet?

Forget about comment 9. Bad file, and bug description states that white-space must be ignored. So I am trying with modifying the string. Any clue where to look at the source code?
