That seems like the wrong duplicate

I would like to say that, people in this forum are quick to mark as duplicate, mark as resolved, wfm, etc. but in fact they are not resolved. I put a request some time ago by clubbing several issues in one bug report and I was told to open separate bug report for each issue - that takes time on the part of the reporter, and increases the bug report count. One of my bug report was marked duplicate about the ALT not showing in IMG and I saw the original bug report and that was not similar to myreport.

Ok, I'll reopen, since this really doesn't seem to be  a duplicate of bug 448830. But is this still an issue?

I don't know of which bug you are talking about (about the ALT not showing in IMG), do you have a bug number?
The point of open separate bug reports for separate issues, is that it creates less confusing.

this one is the one about ALT for IMG. Now it says resolved duplicate of bug x, but the issue is still there.

Ah, never mind, I see that you were already using the latest trunk build when testing this bug.
Could you perhaps attach a screenshot to the bug, showing the problem?

heres the screenshot for this bug

What is strange is that, if you open another application like paintbrush or word newly, and switch back to this tab, then the rendering corrects itself visibly in a few seconds

Ok, thanks for the screenshot. That made it clear this is the same bug as bug 477236.
I was a bit confused by the description of your bug, because the term line breaks is normally used for something else.
