378979 - display of underlined text changes

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 365336

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Ray Kiddy]

The underlining of these two lines is different and there is no reason for it. In the second "text text" paragraph, there is a pixel-high space between the letters and the underline. In the second, there is no extra pixel space.

If you remove the first paragraph, the text display is correct.

Is there a testcase for this? Bugs filed in Core::Layout require testcases before they can be marked as "NEW" and should be filed as UNCONFIRMED otherwise.

I thought UNCONFIRMED would be if the bug could not be reproduced. Isn't a test case required before a fix for the bug is accepted?

Since the bug report in comment 0 isn't clear, I'm not sure how anyone is supposed to reproduce it. The Layout component requires a simplified testcase for confirmation so that bugs can actually be reproduced by developers.

This is linked to from http://www.mozilla.org/quality/help/bugzilla-privilege-guide.html#unconfirmed and has been the case for quite a while now.

I just realized, I attached a source file with the bug and it did not stick when I saved the bug. Sorry about that. I think me explanation was complete enough, with the attachment. I will have to keep an eye on bugzilla in the future, to make sure attaching a file in bug creation works.

Attachment: demonstrates the bug

This attachment should, perhaps, attach itself to the bug. I'll cross my fingers this time.... Ah. If one does not add a description to the attachment when attaching on creation, there is no warning. It just ignores the attachment. I'll file that against bugzilla.
