Details

A tiny <OL> list counts correctly, but the following <OL> from msn.com does only counts using 1. <OL><LI>In its quarterly earnings report, Intel announced that it had not only s topped losing market share at the lower end of the PC market to <A HREF=http://i nvestor.msn.com/research/profile.asp?Symbol=AMD>Advanced Micro Devices</A> (<A H REF=http://investor.msn.com/research/newsnap.asp?Symbol=AMD>AMD</A>) and <A HREF =http://investor.msn.com/research/profile.asp?Symbol=NSM>National Semiconductor' s</A> (<A HREF=http://investor.msn.com/research/newsnap.asp?Symbol=NSM>NSM</A>) Cyrix unit, but had gained sale s against these competitors.</SPAN><br> <SPAN CLASS=normalloose><LI>In that same report, Intel reported radical reductio ns in manufacturing costs. The company is ahead of schedule -- and at least thre e months ahead of Advanced Micro Devices -- in moving to 0.18 micro production. At this smaller size, Intel gets more chips out of each piece of silicon and tha t reduces the cost of making each chip.</SPAN><br> <SPAN CLASS=normalloose><LI>National Semiconductor threw in the towel and announ ced that it would exit the PC chip business.</SPAN><br> <SPAN CLASS=normalloose><LI>Intel announced a new generation of the StrongArm ch ip that it acquired from Digital Equipment that will accelerate Intel's entry in to the market for information appliances. The new StrongArm chip uses half the p ower and runs almost three times as fast as the previous version.</SPAN><br> <SPAN CLASS=normalloose><LI>Intel has inked a series of acquisitions -- the purc hase of <A HREF=http://investor.msn.com/research/profile.asp?Symbol=LEVL>Level O ne Communications</A> (<A HREF=http://investor.msn.com/research/newsnap.asp?Symb ol=LEVL>LEVL</A>) is the most important -- that continue the company's march int o the communications chip business.</OL>

This is actually a residual style problem. <Span> doesn't contain <LI>, so it should get pushed like other resid-style tags. The HTML that should be getting into the content model is: <HTML> <BODY> <ol> <LI><SPAN CLASS=normalloose>In its quarterly earnings report, </SPAN><br> <LI><SPAN CLASS=normalloose>In that same report, </SPAN><br><LI> <SPAN CLASS=normalloose>National Semiconductor </SPAN><br><LI> <SPAN CLASS=normalloose>Intel announced </SPAN><br><LI><SPAN CLASS=normalloose>Intel has inked</SPAN> </ol></BODY></HTML>
Target Milestone: M8
Target Milestone: M8 → M9
Moving all residual-style related bugs to M9.
This bug is probably related to #4522.

Rickg's recent update to the DTD ( allowing span objects to behave as blocks ) must have fixed the problem!! FYI: verified with July 19th build. Marking bug Fixed.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
With the July 26th build runiing under Win 98, Mac 8.6 and Linux (Red Hat 5.2), I'm still getting the same results. The OL is rendering the first item as 1. followed with bullet (circle) items.
After talking to harish, the original bug is fixed. I will close this bug out and write up a new one based on the results it is now displaying.
