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

If there are many, unrelated, tests that fail, then this needs to be split up
into many bugs.  There should be one bug per issue.  (A single issue could span
multiple tests, but not the whole test page.)

When filing additional bugs:
 * Please check for duplicates.  Many of the bugs are probably already filed.
 * Note additional bugs filed or existing bugs already covered here.

Perhaps they should be marked as dependencies and this bug can be used as a
tracking bug?

[Matthew Cline]

I've reported all of the bugs that show up on this page that haven't already
been reported, for the build 2000060520 on Linux; the all have pointers back
to this bug.

Comment 3

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

The pointers really should be dependencies -- this bug should depend on the 
other bugs. That way we can easily keep track of what is going on.

Also, this bug should be assigned to QA...

Comment 4

[Nisheeth Ranjan]

Re-assigning this bug to petersen based on Ian's comment as part of triaging 
clayton's bug list.  Please pass this on to the right QA person.  Thanks.

Comment 5

[Andreas Franke (gone)]

I searched for the bugs Matthew ([e-mail]) was talking about,
and came up with the following two matches:

1) bug 41778 "Quotation characters for different languages should be used",
   a dup of bug 16206 "Initial value for 'quotes' property could be nicer"
   which is (like this bug) is a direct child of the HTML4 meta bug 7954.

2) bug 41781 "Image map done with OBJECT tag doesn't show"
   which ``Looks like its fixed.'' according to Matthew.

Comment 6

[Mats Palmgren (inactive)]

bug 41781 is now VERIFIED FIXED. Is this bug really needed?

Comment 7

[gerardok]

massive update for QA contact.

Comment 8

[Robin Lionheart]

Adding dependencies to 9100 and 24113, both of whose URLs are set to pages in
this test suite.

Comment 9

[Robin Lionheart]

Although I wrote the test pages referred, I didn't have anything to do with
Shane's submission. I only just noticed it today.

But as long as it's here, I may as well use it to track the bugs illustrated by
my test pages.

Comment 10

[Braden]

Do we really need a META bug for this? The problems on this page are being
tracked in other bugs (as they should be). Recommending INVALID.

Comment 11

[Chris Petersen]

Changing to [e-mail]

Comment 12

[Heikki Toivonen (remove -bugzilla when emailing directly)]

XML/DOM team's turn to triage Clayton's list.

Comment 13

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

Reassigning QA Contact for all open and unverified bugs previously under Lorca's
care to Gerardo as per phone conversation this morning.

Comment 14

[Robin Lionheart]

Write more descriptive summary

Comment 15

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

Taking bug as per decision with Harish.

Comment 16

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

HTML Element, -> Gerardo

Comment 17

[bsharma]

qa contact updated.

Comment 18

[gerardok]

The failures described in this bug report have been entered in separate bug 
reports. If anyone is interested on tracking these, please assign this bug 
report to yourself. Otherwise, it'll be closed as Invalid.

Also, this is a meta bug. Its target milestone cannot be set earlier than the 
bugs it tracks. Removing the target milestone value.

Comment 19

[Chad Austin]

959 and this bug aren't related.

Comment 20

[Robin Lionheart]

The HTML side of bug 959 was related, though that half has been completed.

Comment 21

[Heikki Toivonen (remove -bugzilla when emailing directly)]

SPAM. HTML Element component deprecated, changing component to Layout. See bug
88132 for details.

Comment 22

[Christopher Hoess (gone)]

Comment 23

Reassigning to myself per comment #18.

Comment 24

[Robin Lionheart]

Also note related bug #55623

Comment 25

[Ben Bucksch (:BenB)]

Bug 30376 is about the HTML -> TXT conversion used mainly in Mailnews. It's not
used at all when you view an HTML doc in the browser.

Comment 26

[:Ms2ger (he/him; ⌚ UTC+1/+2)]

I think this bug has outlived its usefulness.
