bugzilla for tracking/preserving information - as some users reported, when opening xml files, those are processed as html files, so it can result in completely empty output (when all information is in tags and attributes, no text blocks) or only partial information, as all text is mashed together and any information from tags and their attributes is lost. As xml files are often used for configuration or simple storage, the result is worse than when no xml processing happens. Examples: /usr/share/mime/video/mp4.xml - translations in one text block, information what is what language is lost /usr/share/libvirt/cpu_map/x86_486.xml - hw specification in attributes, so only empty page /usr/share/dbus-1/interfaces/org.freedesktop.systemd1.Service.xml - systemd service dbus interface description, only empty page /usr/lib/firewalld/zones/public.xml - only zone text description, main information about zone services lost dnf repomod.xml - shows only some hashes, context what are those is lost /etc/libvirt/qemu/rhel9.xml - virtual machine configuration, only some useless random strings, context and most infromation lost /usr/share/selinux/devel/include/admin.xml - blocks of strings and texts, unusable without a context that is missing as a temporary solution, xml files won't be processed and will be shown directly as is Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: less /some/file.xml Actual Results: empty page or condensed page with most information lost Expected Results: information preserved
