691977 - Formatting of HTML causing white space

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 716741

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, defect)

Description

[RWAP Services]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:5.0) Gecko/20110706 Firefox/5.0 SeaMonkey/2.2
Build ID: 20110706120824

Steps to reproduce:

Editing a HTML document - inserting a picture with a fairly long tooltip


Actual results:

The tooltip and ALT text gets split over more than one line, resulting in white space added in the middle of the tooltip


Expected results:

Everything between the quote marks for alt="text" and title="text" MUST be kept on the same line and not split in the HTML source.

Does this also happen with SeaMonkey 2.4.1?

Yes.

I have no idea how it is supposed to work, what it is supposed to do, but if the alt="text" is split in the source html, & Composer /does/ split it, the alt="text" text displays differently on mouseover.

Test Web Page, Composer Generated, alt="text" is split onto two lines.

Exactly similar to one of the bug I outlined in http://is.gd/ZGuTNi and that's
the same reason behind it. The handling of mMayIgnoreLineBreakSequence is
incomplete, and in some cases wrong. I'm working on it.

Test Web Page #2, originally Composer Generated with alt="text" is split onto two lines, though I've manually joined the lines so that they are no longer split in the source.
 
 
Note the difference of the alt="text" displayed on mouseover between the two pages.

Attachment: Picture

"External" picture to be used with the html files.
(You'll need to adjust the path in the html source to point to it.  Don't use Composer or you'll break the source ;-) )
