Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 53706
Style elements in bug summary pages screws NS4.x display
Last modified: 2013-06-23 23:08:23 EDT
Description of Problem: The style settings embedded in the "show bug xxx" pages are causing Netscape 4.x to make a real mess of rendering. If I disable stylesheets or JavaScript, then everything looks fine, but with both enabled the parts inside <pre> look awful ... huge spacing between characters, which also makes the "add comments" text entry box really big, which makes the page about twice as wide as the window ... Technically, I think this is a Netscape bug, because I've seen a similar effect on many other pages besides Bugzilla, but it would be nice if this could be avoided. It seems to stem from the pre-formatted sections inheriting the font setting (13px Helvetica) from the page body setting. Just taking out the style setting would solve the problem AFAICS.
Red Hat's current Bugzilla version is 2.18. I am moving all older open bugs to this version. Any bugs against the older versions will need to be verified that they are still bugs. This will help me also to sort them better.
