Very small images are replaced with their filename.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Nvidia's website.
2. Look between the NVIDIA logo and the "Company" button.


Actual Results:  The text "clearpixel" offsets the page, making it look weird.
"clearpixel.gif" is the name of the image file.

Expected Results:  The contents of clearpixel.gif should be visible.

The same thing can be observed on http://www.dagenstv.com/. The image in this
case is called 1x1blank.gif.
Confirmed on Linux 2000-08-09-10.  The images are not 404s.

Per its dups, this might only occur with 1x1 px images.
It appears as this wasn't a bug after all. I took a closer look and found that
both the websites where this occur have errors in the source code sending
Mozilla to look for images that don't exist. Netscape 4 and IE don't replace the
image with it's alt or filename when they can't find it. Therefor it looks ok
when these pages are viewed using NN or IE.
I checked the duplicate bugs too. They have equal errors (404) in their source code.
A more dramatic example is found at http://www.ronssmokeshop.com
Marking invalid per the comment "This wasn't a bug after all" and "I checked the
duplicate bugs too. They have equal errors (404) in their source code."

Invalid? It looks like a dup of assigned bug 42474.
Ok, so I was lazy, this is really...

verified dup of mostfreq bug 41924 "Change how layout handles broken images (alt
text)"
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
The resolution is incorrect.  The images are NOT 404.  They are 49-byte GIFs and
I can see that they are being received by examining tcpdump and my squid logs.
The bug is that 1x1 transparent gifs are replaced with their basename.  Reopening.

Yes, I'm not sure that they'll all broken images either.  No need to be hasty 
in marking bugs as dups or invalid...
at nvidia site the image that comes through as text "clearpixel" is called from
 /clearpixel.gif and it is a 404. An identically named gif is called twice from
another dir there,
 /Home.nfs/clearpixel.gif, and those occurances of the image does now show the
bug. (The word "clearpixel" is only seen once on nvidia page.)

at the url in bug 48394 http://www.beenz.com/fr/home.ihtml
the image <IMG height=5 src="../fr/registration/terms_standard_files/blnk.gif">
is a 404
So it *is* a dup of 41924, then? I'll let someone else mark it as such...
Would be interesting to see a working testcase. I wasn't able to make one:

 I made a 1x1 transparent gif, added in a wepage, and the name of the gif did
not display as text.

The real sites i've dug in till now boil down to 404's due to missing gif's /
error in path syntax.

Y'all are right and I am wrong.  The page at dagenstv.com has a mixture of 404's
(common/1x1blank.gif) and 200's (common/images/1x1blank.gif), which I mistakenly
thought were all correct.  The former resolution was in fact correct.  Spam off.
