92671 - spaces between differently styled pieces of text disappear when window resized

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 110243

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[sadvani]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:0.9.2+) Gecko/20010727
BuildID:    2001072703

In looking over the Debug | Viewer Demos, I decided to see how well these all
worked.  I uncovered a reproducible rendering bug as words in a paragraph are
reformatted to fit the window as it is resized.  Specifically, as the window is
grown, words that "bubble up" a line that have the "bold" attribute occasionally
will not render with the space that separates them from the previous word.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select the Debug | Viewer Demos | 0 Basic Styles
2. Scroll to the bottom of the page
3. Slowly drag the left side of the window back and forth, and notice the space
between the word 'aligned' and the bolded word next to it (left, center, right).
 The space will occasionally not render.

Actual Results:  Spaces on the left-hand side of the screen fail to be inserted
between words.

Expected Results:  Correct rendering of the text.

win98, trunk 2001072603: Same problem occurs in the beginning of the page too,
in "This is a basic paragraph with <b>bold</b>, <i>italic</i>" etc...  words
clump together when the browser window is resized, like "paragraph
withbold,italic, and bold-italictext"

resummarizing: "Justified / bold combination renders incorrectly when window
resized" -> "spaces between differently styled pieces of text disappear when
window resized". apparently spaces between differently styled pieces of text are
lost. This can be seen in bug 104864 the "Bug 104864 depends on" list. Seen in
linux 2001111202 (0.9.6 branch), os -> all

WFM, up-to-date Linux CVS.

Bah, I can reproduce this after all.  Narrow a bug page with a bunch of
dependencies down so they all appear in a single column.  Then start dragging
the window out until they appear in two columns; space will start getting lost.
 Upping severity.

Should be fixed with bug 110243.

Damn I love when a patch fixes two bugs. That's the 'cherry the on cake' :))
