Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 214476

(Toolkit :: View Source, defect)

Description

[Jeremy Hein]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b2pre) Gecko/2007120105 Minefield/3.0b2pre

Check the source for more explanation. It seems to only happen with a doctype. Firefox ends a comment after two dashes and a greater than sign even if there is text in between the two dashes and the greater than sign. IE and Safari comment as expected so either Firefox has a bug or the other browsers do and so does my color coded text editor. I've tested with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b2pre) Gecko/2007120105 Minefield/3.0b2pre.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to link and view source.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Firefox ends a comment after two dashes and a greater than sign even if there is text in between the two dashes and the greater than sign.

Expected Results:  
All test between <!-- and --> should be commented.

Whoops, That's supposed to be "All text between <!-- and --> should be commented."
