Details

This code is invalid HTML, but should be handled more gracefully by Mozilla: <P><B>text</P> <PRE>text</PRE> <P>text Note that a </B> is missing, but a </P> is present. Observed result: *All* text after the </PRE> is in a bold monospace font. Expected result: Text after the </PRE> may be bold, but not in a monospace font. This breaks search results of http://metager.de/ , which is a very popular meta search-engine for web pages in German language. Testcases: <P><B>text</P>...: http://clarence.de/metager-test/testcase.html <P><B>text...: http://clarence.de/metager-test/testcase-2.html <P><B>text</B></P>...: http://clarence.de/metager-test/testcase-3.html 2000-12-21-05, trunk, Win NT
Filed bug 63582 for evangelism of metager.de.
I see a problem only with testcase #1 on Linux 2000121908, the other two work as I would expect them too. If this is the case for WinNT as well, should go OS -> All.
Yes, the problem exists only with testcase #1. The others are for comparison only.
OS: Windows NT → All
Is this anything like bug 60806 or bug 26347?
