This is incorrect markup. Neither the <b> tag nor the <font> tag can contain a <p> tag. This isn't a bug that needs to be fixed, although it could be an added feature for handling erroneous markup. I'm lowering the severity and priority.

As a user browsing the web a don't care whether this is valid html - I just want pages which have been using this to layout as they were intended. If it works in the last releases of both the major browsers and not in Nglayout, then this is clearly a backwards compatability bug. Bumping the priority back up.
Setting all current Open/Normal to M4.

This bug is the cause of the font issues on news.com. Basically what needs to happen is the font tag should not be ended by anything except a closing font tag. The problem with news.com is essentially this: <p> <font size="+3"> Some text. </p> <p> Some text. </p> The second paragraph is not rendered in the former's font.
