User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060613 Camino/1.0.2 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060613 Camino/1.0.2 In the world of warcraft forums users have the option to enter their text preformatted so that the browser does not control the breaks. In this example the text is displayed properly by only by Safari. Both Camino and Firefox wind up breaking the post into double spaced lines which cut off at right. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Go to world of warcraft forums. forums.worldofwarcraft 2.look for entries with preformmatted text. Sample page given above. 3. Actual Results: you get the double spaced text above as described. Expected Results: you get the double spaced text above as described. Text should be rendered as single spaced paragraphs. This happens in Safari.
This bug also affects FireFox as well. The only Mac browser unaffected is Safari. I've also tested on the latest build of Opera and the moribound IE.
The page uses the <pre> tag, which suppresses all normal line breaking, then uses a proprietary IE extension to CSS (word-wrap:break-word) to try to allow wrapping. To the extent that this is a valid bug, it's a dup of bug 99457. The real solution is for the WoW forums not to use non-standard, browser-specific CSS, so I would suggest complaining to the webmaster of the site. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 99457 ***
