build id: 1999051708
platform: windows nt
if you view the following html in apprunner, you just get a lot of "&&;" in the
window title where the characters are supposed to be:
<html>
<head><title>This contains ßä€ a few weird
characters</title></head>
<body></body>
</html>
Expected result: you see the proper characters instead of "&&;".
I just tried this on Mac and Windows and both display the text properly if the
characters are in the body but both display garbage if the &euro is in the title
string. The problem also occurs in viewer so it is either a parser or widget bug.
Reassiging to the widget module owner

This is not a form control widget problem. I'm not sure who owns nsBrowserWindow
(or equavalent) these days. Rick, please reassign as appropriate.
Sorry I picked the wrong component. I ment to select "xp toolkit/widget" who I
assume owns nsWindowMac/Win/GTK. Lets try again

I've checked 1999-07-30-11 on win98 and it doesn't display as &&; but
it isn't correct eighter.
The effect is different with view source.
(That was bug 9283 now marked as duplicate)
E.g.:
<title>Entitás teszt</title>
in browser window:
Entitá;s teszt - Mozilla
in view source window:
EntitMozilla

I didn't pull the source, I'm just surfing it with lxr (which rulez btw).
It looks like there's a bug in SkippedContent collection.
It is used at other places too, like the plaintext or xmp tag, so
<xmp>entitás</xmp>
is displayed as
entitá;s
(the extra ; is there)

I forgot to say I got the above hint from
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/htmlparser/src/CNavDTD.cpp
see also:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/search?string=SkippedContent
So this should be a _parser_ bug.
Please (re)assign it accordingly.

Fixed rather than deferred, since it was such a brain-dead bug. The entity
handling code recently changed, where the ending semi was no longer removed. The
skipped content code was never told about it. Oops. Fixing this was accomplished
by removing 1 line of code.

Verified using the '1999070614' build (actually an August 13, 1999 build) on
Windows 98. phillip, it's fixed on Linux, yes?
