57168 - previous font color not restored with /font when involving UL inside a table's TD (cell)

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect, P3)

Description

[Udo Schuermann]

The text color is not restored after /FONT to what was previously in effect if
the region within the FONT.../FONT sequence is located inside a table's TD *and*
the FONT.../FONT sequence itself contains a UL.

The given URL has a greatly simplified example; also included is a screen shot
of what I see, along with annotation as to what should be displayed.

...*and* the FONT.../FONT sequence itself contains a UL.

By my reading of the HTML spec, a FONT element can't contain a UL element, so
this page is invalid HTML. I can reproduce the problem on a recent build
Win32/2000101808 but I doubt providing a workaround for using a deprecated
feature in an invalid way is going to be high on anyone's priority list.

confirmed with 110308 mozilla trunk build. we do not behave as 4.x here, but I
believe that the HTML is wrong.
