Description: I'm seeing tags appearing as content on the web page for the last
week or so. It happens every time I log into Yahoo mail (see the links on the
top left corner). It is also happening in bugzilla and sundry other places.
Steps to reproduce: I can't reproduce this with 100% accuracy but it occurs
often enough so that you can see it if you try about 4 or 5 places (try
bugzilla's 'bugs reported today', 'query page', etc.)
Actual Result: Sometimes you see things like '<A href=..' on the page instead of
the subsequent words being converted into links.
Expected result: HTML tags should not be visible as part of the page.
I'm not sure whether this belongs to parser or layout so please re-assign
accordingly.
Been seeing this on linux too, from builds dated 14th and onwards.
It's seen on first load of http://www.mozilla.org too. THe left columns
indentation gets wrong. Gets right first after a reload.
Various tags of all kinds are simply ignored now and then, and come through as
plain text instead, < and > included.
Another URL where its very visible is
http://www.autsch.de/bitsteller/linux_penguin.html
(Font tags display instead of being interpreted as tags.)
I see this bug in ordinary bug-reports as well - a loose <TD> now and then, for
instance.
Resolving as new.
