Description Percy Mett 2010-07-01 07:14:21 UTC 
There is a problem with the arrow which appears with a link to an external web page.
When the text wraps, the arrow appears in the wrong place, overlaying the text.

See, for example,

http://yi.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%B0%D7%99%D7%A7%D7%99%D7%A4%D6%BC%D7%A2%D7%93%D7%99%D7%A2:%D7%A0%D7%99%D7%A6%D7%9C%D7%A2%D7%9B%D7%A7%D7%99%D7%99%D7%98%D6%BE%D7%90%D7%99%D7%A0%D7%99%D7%A6%D7%99%D7%90%D7%98%D7%99%D7%95%D7%95/%D7%A0%D7%99%D7%99%D7%A2_%D7%90%D7%99%D7%99%D7%92%D7%A0%D7%A7%D7%99%D7%99%D7%98%D7%9F
Comment 1 Roan Kattouw 2010-07-01 08:02:27 UTC 
That link looks good to me.
Comment 2 Percy Mett 2010-07-01 10:23:57 UTC 
Change the width of the the window so that the text wraps.
Comment 3 Derk-Jan Hartman 2010-07-01 11:24:15 UTC 
Which browsers + versions are you encountering this problem with ?
Comment 4 Roan Kattouw 2010-07-01 19:12:23 UTC 
Not seeing it, even with a narrower window, on Firefox 3.6. I need specific browser information to be able to debug this.
Comment 5 Percy Mett 2010-07-01 22:28:13 UTC 
Sorry, I forgot to check it with Firefox. FF 3.6 handles this OK.
But Safari, Chrome and Opera all overlay the arrow when the link text is wrapped.
Comment 6 Derk-Jan Hartman 2010-07-05 22:26:24 UTC 
I can confirm this behavior. Seems like a bug in Opera and Safari to me though....
Comment 7 Derk-Jan Hartman 2010-07-31 17:12:35 UTC 
Reported this issue for Webkit. https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43302
Comment 8 Siebrand Mazeland 2010-08-29 11:54:36 UTC 
Setting this to page rendering category (from i18n).

The report in comment 7 was a duplicate of https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9272 (that issues does not appear to have gotten love since it was reported in June 2006).
Comment 9 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-05-15 17:25:48 UTC 
Resolving later since this is an upstream bug that we have no control over.
Comment 10 Mark A. Hershberger 2011-05-15 18:48:14 UTC 
Oh, looks like upstream has closed the dupe.  Could someone verify that this is solved?
Comment 11 Amir E. Aharoni 2011-05-15 23:53:57 UTC 
It works well on Google Chrome.
Comment 12 Percy Mett 2011-05-16 11:47:17 UTC 
(In reply to comment #11)
> It works well on Google Chrome.

Indeed it does.

But the problem remains on both Safari and Opera.
Comment 13 Diederik van Liere 2011-11-30 00:25:21 UTC 
I tested this with Safari 5.1.2 and it works, so I am going mark this bug as WORKSFORME. Even if it is still a problem in Opera then it should not be labeled LATER because LATER suggests that we need to do something while this is obviously a browser issue.
