Details

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but I'll report it at least as a learning exercise: At amazon.com, there is a yellowish column at the left side of the page, containing a column of various text, images, and links. One of the lines of text in this column, just over halfway down the page, is "Our World Has Grown." With Navigator 4.x and IE, that line is fine. With the Windows viewer particularly (though it also happens a tiny bit with the Linux viewer), the line overruns the edge of the yellow column background. It appears fine on the Mac viewer. Please note if I should write up a report against Linux separately.
(Sorry, I know this is not a rendering bug, but I will leave the component alone pending changes). For me on win95 Feb06 non-debug, this table shows the "Grown" extending into the right hand column. Note: 1) the image must have an align=left attribute (actually, align=right also produces a weird result, but not the table column overlap problem) 2) the <font> must contain the <img>; if the <font> comes after the <img> then the overlap does not occur. 3) the attributes of the font tag are not relevant (can even just specify <font> with no attributes and it still overlaps). 4) it does matter whether the <table> is fixed width, 100% or auto. ====================================================================== <html><head></head><body> <table border=0 width=100% cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0> <tr> <td width=155 bgcolor="#EEEECC"> <font size=-1 face="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"> <img width=25 height=25 align=left src="http://www.amazon.com/g/v6/misc/globe-icon.gif"> Our World Has Grown </font> </td> <td bgcolor="#cccccc"> Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>

Nice job in narrowing it down to that small piece of HTML. Kipp, assigning to you, because of the fact that removing the FONT tag makes it format okay. That makes it look like a block/inline frame problem

I'm no longer seeing the text overflow in the Mar04 build.
