Starting with the 1.5 RC builds (that I've tried) as well as the final FF 1.5 release the bold text of links (that are contained in the URI given to demonstrate this problem) exibit a problem. The message board's thread title links are bold for recent threads. When clicked on the links move to the right a little. This does not happen with non-bolded links in the message board. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to the given URI 2. Right click on a bolded thread link Actual Results: link moves rightward by a few pixels Expected Results: link should not move
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5 ID:2005111116 I see this too.
It has not always been like this. The behaviour changed somewhere between 11-Jul-2004 and 18-Jul-2004.
Needs a minimal testcase.

Why is nobody working on this?
Bug occurs in SeaMonkey 2006120701 (pre reflow branch) on Linux. (at the URL, try the "Forum Feedback" link for example) Bug does not occur in SeaMonkey 2006120801 (post reflow branch) on Linux. Fixed by bug 300030 it seems, at least on Linux.

This bug is NOT entirely fixed (at least on Win32). Here's a new way to reproduce: 1.) Go to the RWT forum link given above and click the "News and Views" link 2.) Right click on the bolded "New TPC-H 10,000GB submission." link 3.) Text shifts slightly to the left now instead of horribly to the right pre-reflow landing. Confirmed with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20061210 Minefield/3.0a1

Ever confirmed: true
I don't see any movement of the links you indicate. A testcase would be very helpful.
OK, I swear it was doing it this morning, but now it isn't. I quit :P

(In reply to comment #10) chammaht@yahoo.com - are you still seeing the problem with a build that is dated 2006-12-09 or later? http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20061216 Minefield/3.0a1 I see the problem in branch but not in trunk.
The problem is not present in the latest build. The reflow refactoring work seems to have solved it, along with quashing numerous other bugs. Case closed.
Flags: in-testsuite?
