From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9) Gecko/20010505 BuildID: 2001050515 This works properly in MS Explorer and I didn't see anything in viewing the source HTML to see why it should be otherwise. It's nice to be able to select Control & 'U' to view the source but it would be nice to have some display options like word wrap and/or to invoke an editor/composer to view the text with capabilities such as find, enlarge/reduce, and save file, etc. IOW, the text displays incorrecly in a new smaller browser window. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.enter URL 2.Select link 'Find Out more?' 3.observe that the new browser window text is all at the left hand side rather than across the entire page as with Explorer.
changing url from http://http://www.wrongful-dismissal.com/ to http://www.wrongful-dismissal.com/casestudy_emerginglaw2.htm to link to "Find out more?" page directly. changing summary from "A new smaller browser window is created when one selects the 'Find Out more?' link but the type does not display correctly across the entire page the way it does with MS Explorer. Rather it remains in a narrow column at the left hand side." to "Text stays columned on the left in moz, but fills entire page in MSIE" for length. Looking if nothing justifies mozilla behaviour on this page.
Summary: A new smaller browser window is created when one selects the 'Find Out more?' link but the type does not display correctly across the entire page the way it does with MS Explorer. Rather it remains in a narrow column at the left hand side. → Text stays columned on the left in moz, but fills entire page in MSIE
seeing this on Linux too.
