Details |
The given URL contains a list like
<DL>
<P><DT>Item 1<DD>Description
<P><DT>Item 2<DD>Description
...
</DL>
which apparently abuses the P tag for formatting purposes.
On apprunner build 1999060414, this renders with each item right-indented wrt.
the preceding item.
The incorrect HTML seems to get interpreted as
<P>
<DT>
Item 1
<DD>
Description
<P>
<DT>
Item 2
<DD>
Description
...
</P>
</P>
instead of
<P>
<DT>
Item 1
<DD>
Description
</P>
<P>
<DT>
Item 2
<DD>
Description
</P>
This bug is also exhibited by the Win98 Apprunner of 1999061108 with
http://www.gimp.org/download.html . Attaching a minimized case...
Min test case:
<html><body>
<DL>
<P>p-text1
<DT><B>Africa</B>
<DD>africa subtext
<P>p-text2
<DT><B>Australia</B>
<DD>austrailia subtext
</body></html>

No vertical alignment bug here. The <P> elements are empty, so they are totally
ignored, as per the HTML4 spec.
The test case (attachement 392) renders correctly in build 19990614.
Marking bug INVALID.
