94364 - bookmark links overlap

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 77067

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Kurt Swanson]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010802
BuildID:    2001080221

Links in the bookmarks.html file overlap each other.  Specifically, the
rectangles which represent the clickable area for a link extend too far on the
top edge, overlapping possible links above.

I will attach a gif showing the situation.

I'm using times new roman truetype, 16 pt, 96dpi.

This symptom seems to be endemic to a larger problem about font heights, notably
visible in form fields.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.View own bookmarks file
2.Click on second link
3.Immediately hit ESC.
4.Dashed box shows clickable area extending at least 3 pixels into previous link.

Actual Results:  overlapping links

Expected Results:  non-overlapping links

This is probably a duplicate of "The way we get font metrics from X11 is bad",
but marking dependency for now....
