From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.1a+) Gecko/20020628 BuildID: 2002062804-TRUNK While looking at bug #148397, I noticed while looking at Page Source that " <!--" caused a look of HTML to be commented out. Note space before <. This really doesn't look right to me. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to URL 2. View Page Source Actual Results: Chunks of HTML are commented out. Expected Results: These chunks of HTML should NOT be commented out, and should be rendered.
