94320 - overlaping <hr>/<img>/text elements

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 84887

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Martin Macok]

There are some $Summary on $URL. I followed bug 82946 which was fixed on most
pages but I still see it on this site.

(well, their javascript and html is really buggy, but I still think that it
should not be renderred with overlapping ... and from a user point of view
"works in IE and N4...", you know...)

(see bug 81211 for javascript mess... a bit relevant to this)

Ok, i see #1 and #2, but #3 does not happen. Of course if if resize the window
and put it too small some overlapping of images MUST happen, but not the text
Again, this is linux 0.9.3

I use current trunk (which has patch from bug 82946 which was a reason why I
filled this - see tail of bug 82946). My system is Red Hat 7.1 Linux.

#3 (overlaping text over text) does happen only when I shrink my browser window
approx. below 630px. (19" monitor, 1280x1024, prefs font size 16/13).

If you remove the (strict) DOCTYPE the URL and testcase works fine.

Comment 9

[Martin Macok]

I found another overlapping site:
http://irssi.org/?page=documentation&doc=faq

Attaching screenshot.

I think that bug 84887 is just a <hr> part of this bug but this bug is not just
about <hr> element...

What about attachment "overlapping text on irssi.org" and "pes.internet.cz
screenshot 3" ?

I'm attaching new screenshot of current 0.9.4 BRANCH (on current Red Hat Rawhide
Linux) how it does render some parts of pes.internet.cz site.

britneyspears.com also appears some overlapped text at the bottom

Since we seem to be listing sites that have this problem, I'll throw in
washingtonpost.com.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A32717-2001Nov2.html

I've added an attatchment that shows the problem, in case the ad changes in the
future.

This really seems to workforme.

Comment 19

[Martin Macok]

I tried latests today nightly snapshot (trunk) and I still see PRE text of faq
overlapping right column on
http://irssi.org/index.php?page=documentation&doc=faq (shrink your window to
reproduce). (http://pes.internet.cz/ is better than it was before ...)

Should I reopen or file a new bug?

Comment 20

[Mats Palmgren (inactive)]

REOPEN. The testcase (attachment 45086 [details]) still exposes the bug.

Comment 21

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Ok... I fail to see a bug here:

1)  <hr> is a block element.  Read bug 84887.  In strict mode, it _should_
overlap floating images.  That bug covers the testcase in this bug.

2)  <pre> text should not be wrapped.  Thus it _will_ overlap things if the page
author does not provide sufficient space for it.

I'm re-resolving this bug as duplicate because it doesn't cover any issues that
are not already covered as far as I can tell.  If it does, they should be filed
as separate, clear bugs.  In particular, irssi.org could probably be evangelized
not to use <pre> text when all they really want is a monotype font.

Is overlapping more expected behaviour than horizontal scrollbar (when there is
not enough space to render <pre> text) ?

Comment 23

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

It is when the things being overlapped are floated.  Please read the CSS2 spec
on float...

Comment 25

[Martin Macok]

Is this overlapping caused by bad HTML/CSS code on http://www.blisty.cz/ or a
bug in Mozilla?
