418292 - 0pt font size is leaving extra whitespace

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Joey Mazzarelli]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b3pre) Gecko/2008020507 Firefox/3.0b3pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9b3pre) Gecko/2008020507 Firefox/3.0b3pre

In the list of function on the left hand side of that page there are many function names. In the ones with an underscore as part of the name, they create a span with nothing but a space in it, and set the font size to 0pt. I assume this is to cause a long function name to wrap after the underscore. In previous version of firefox, the whitespace is "invisible". Now it is showing up and you can distinctly see a gap between the word segments.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to PHP.net
2.Look up the array functions
3.Look at the names in the list on the left
Actual Results:  
You see whitespace after the underscores

Expected Results:  
You don't expect to see whitespace after the underscores

Windows does have this same behavior with:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b4pre) Gecko/2008021804 Minefield/3.0b4pre

It displays as you would expect it to on Windows.

Does this still happen in firefox 3.6.6 or later in a fresh profile?

No reply, INCOMPLETE. Please retest with Firefox 3.6.8 or later and a new profile (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). If you continue to see this issue with the newest firefox and a new profile, then please comment on this bug.
