Description Derk-Jan Hartman 2011-02-17 07:17:06 UTC
Many older browser (Netscape 4, NetFront etc) hate these huge single line CSS statements we have.

Why do we have them? what is the point. Inserting some linebreaks after a few thousand chars seems much safer.

What's the actual problem? Does it affect any browser we're having active support for?
Comment 2 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-02-17 19:21:20 UTC
/me goes to find a version of netscape navigator to test on.
Comment 3 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-02-17 19:35:02 UTC
http://browser.netscape.com/releases in case anyone else wants to try trip down memory lane.

Unassigning default assignments. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.science.linguistics.wikipedia.technical/54734
Comment 5 Krinkle 2013-03-06 05:49:07 UTC
Setting back to UNCONFIRMED. Someone needs to provide proof of there being a problem.
Comment 6 Derk-Jan Hartman 2013-04-21 13:29:56 UTC
Let's just close it, since realistically it is wontfix. We don't support these older browsers much and though we got this report (or several actually if my memory serves me well) on VP/T about 2 years ago, I haven't heard people complaining about a crashing browser since that time.

I guess they finally gave up on their browsers (or wikipedia :D )
