Long <pre> blocks rendered in Firefox 22 on Xubuntu Linux. Monobook skin. (43.39 KB, image/png)

Description Chris McKenna 2013-07-22 18:15:35 UTC
Created attachment 12921 [details]
Long <pre> blocks rendered in Firefox 22 on Xubuntu Linux. Monobook skin.

When <pre> blocks contain lines longer than the width of the page, the <pre> block formatting finishes at the right edge of the page but the text continues. Shortly afterwards the page background finishes and the text continues onto a plain grey background. The html page though is rendered much wider than is needed to show all the text though (very approximately double the required width).

Firefox 22, Xubuntu Linux, Monobook skin.

This is surely a dupe of something.
Comment 2 Chris McKenna 2013-07-22 18:42:39 UTC
That really wouldn't surprise me, but I couldn't find anything when searching and nothing relevant popped up when I entered the summary. If it is a dupe then the other bug describes it using completely different words, probably describing the cause rather than the symptom.
