69104 - Newline between <li> and <p> causes list market to disappear

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: HTML Parser, defect, P3)

Description

[Paul Heinlein]

The code on the page in question sometimes does this:

  <li>
    <p>text</p>
    ... other stuff
  </li>

and sometimes it does this:

  <li><p>text</p></li>

The latter case displays correctly, but in the former case, the list
market disappears. It doesn't seem to matter whether the list is
ordered or unordered.

Content-model for the above test case:

docshell=01210AF0
html@0127C380 refcount=6<
  head@0127DFC0 refcount=2<
    title@01281BA0 refcount=2<
      Text@01281B30 refcount=2<List test>
    >
  >
  Text@01281A80 refcount=3<\n>
  body@01281930 refcount=3<
    ul@012A8670 refcount=3<
      Text@012A8600 refcount=3< >
      li@02C16550 refcount=4<
        Text@02C16E50 refcount=3< >
        p@02C11E00 refcount=3<
          Text@02C11D90 refcount=3<Item 1>
        >
      >
      li@02C114E0 refcount=4<
        p@02C11480 refcount=3<
          Text@02C11410 refcount=3<Item 2>
        >
      >
      Text@02C11260 refcount=3<\n>
    >
    Text@02C16680 refcount=3<\n>
  >

The content model looks correct. That is, the parser did its job correctly. The 
problem seems to be in the layout.

Note: Removing the whitespace, after the first LI, solves the problem. 

Ovet to Mark.
