Using CVS Mozilla, freshly built on i386 Red Hat Linux 6.0, EGCS 1.1.2, GLIBC
2.1, and GTK 1.2.1.  Build ID: 1999043018.  Using apprunner, compare the
"Double" and "Half" versions of the acid box CSS1 test at the given URL to the
reference version.  Note that the sizes do not seem to change as the test
documents indicate they should.  I believe that either the test has a bug that
should be fixed, or Mozilla does.

This used to work on Windows.  Is this Linux specific (I'm now on Linux) or is
it new?

The problem is that the font size does not work when given on the HTML element.
It works if I move the font size to BODY.

If the bug is new, could prefs be setting font sizes on BODY, or something?
It's probably better if prefs does the setting on HTML, so 1.2em on BODY makes
sense.  (What do em on font-size on the root element mean, anyway?)
I have not tried this on Windows--I don't use Windows.  So it could be specific
to Linux, I suppose.  But I don't know.  I am just reporting what I see here.
Do you notice the same thing on Linux?
To dbaron@fas.harvard.edu: I just realized you are not on the CC: list.  I am
adding you to it, so you can get word of my response to your very insightful
comments on this.
Yes - I use Linux now, and I don't really want to bother rebooting to test on
Windows.  The question was directed more towards someone who uses Windows.  It's
very unlikely to be platform-specific, anyway.  I tried those tests a few months
ago on Windows, and they worked... so I think it's a regression, but there's a
small chance it could be a platform thing.
Not platform specific.
I guess it is a regression then, though I don't suppose it is worth holding up
M7 for.  Everyone agree?

Fixed incorrect setting of BASEFONT info on the BODY, this was overriding the
font size set on the HTML element.
Status: RESOLVED → REOPENED
Using a CVS build from today (6/18), the double version now shows properly.  But
now check out the half version--it has **MAJOR** layout problems.
If this problem is not fixed, please clear the resolution

This bug is fixed. The layout issues on the small version are a completely
different problem (in layout). Let's file a new bug for that, not morph this
one into something new.
New bug #8532 added for layout issues
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
Verified fixed.  Font size is working correctly on HTML element.
