398613 - Content disappears with text-align: justify, white-space:pre, and overflow: auto;

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Uri Bernstein]

When you go to the URL above, most of the content is missing. Resizing the window (making it narrow beyond some point) makes the content appear.

This regressed between 2007-09-23-04 and 2007-09-24-04. The only checkin in this range that looks suspicious is bug 96041.

Testcase coming up.

Attachment: testcase

Note that this testcase is very delicate: Removing characters from the div, or replacing the "x" at the end with a digit, cause the bug to go away. Also, removing the space before the span, makes it go away.

The testcase works correctly here on Camino trunk. On Minefield, at first load the page is blank, resizing the window makes the content appear.

On the OpenSearch site, both Minefield and Camino fail to render most of the page (except the blue header). Resizing the window, or switching to another tab and coming back shows the content.

That behaviour is a bit similar to bug 360032.

I don't see this on Mac trunk, in either the URL provided or the testcase.

Comment 4

[philippe (part-time)]

I still see those issues with the opensearch.org page, and the same odd behaviour: resizing the window or switching to another tab allow the content to appear (all that is wrapped in a div with id=content): that div 'pops' open.

I can still reproduce this, both with the URL and with the testcase.

Attachment: Another test case

This shows up as a blank page in firefox 3.0 beta 1 under OS X 10.4.11 running on a powerpc powerbook at 1024x768.  It is quite sensitive to spacing, removing the space between the h4 tag and the span inside it causes it to display as does removing any of the tags (except html,body and head) or style rules.

Comment 7

[Peter Gerdes]

The test case above displayed when I tried it in firefox 3.0b1 so I whipped up another one based on the original page that didn't display.  

Comment 8

[Peter Gerdes]

Interestingly the first test case works fine for me on firefox 3b1 but not on the most recent nightly (build listed below).  Neither firefox 3b1 or the nightly correctly display the test case I submitted.

In both philippe's observation about resizing the window applies (resize causes it to display).

This WFM (even with old builds where I used to see the problem), with OS 10.5 on an Intel Mac. So it might be 10.4-only or PPC-only.

Comment 10

[Uri Bernstein]

WFM on 10.4/PPC starting from sometime between 2007-11-30 and 2007-12-02.
