The URL given contains a <center> tag, a heading, then a <br clear=all> (because there were some aligned images there in the original, omitted for brevity) and never closes the center. This confuses the layout engine, or maybe the parser, to the point that nothing on the page is rendered at all. 4.5 shows the page fine. It doesn't continue the centering past the br. I'm not sure whether the centering should be extended past the br or not, but a completely blank page (can't even see the heading) certainly isn't the right response. This happens on the 2/18 and 2/19 Linux trees, but does NOT happen on a Windows 2/18 build.

Rick, this sounds like bug #3188 so I'm giving this to you, too

Works (Feb 23 build) now... Marking the bug fixed

I need clarification on this bug before I verify it as fixed. Using the 3/9 build, the page renders in its entirety (which was part of the problem). As I understand it, the BR Clear=ALL starts a new line below the line where left and right margins are cleared of floating objects (typically images or tables). Although it does not conform to the definition above, does BR CLEAR=ALL have any effect on (does it 'break')the CENTER element tag? If it does not, then the page renders correctly, centering the second sentence. If BR CLEAR=ALL 'breaks' CENTER behavior, then the page does not render correctly. Note: the test case has a superfluous ending ANCHOR element tag which, whether included or not, does not change behavior.
