Hello, " Hĺkon encourages people to review the new tests in the multi-col test suite. " Due to a coincidence involving clip-001 test, I examined a multicolumn test and then examined more multicolumn tests. I'll start with http://test.csswg.org/suites/css3-multicol/nightly-unstable/html4/containing-001.htm line 10 div { font-family: ahem; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1em; Issue 1 ------- Font-size will compute to 16px which is not ideal, not good for creating an associated reftest... because not dividable by 5px. It must be said here that reftests, by definition [1], should be using different features, different methods of achieving layout in order to reduce risks of false positives. If computed font-size when using Ahem font is not dividable by 5px, then accurate, reliable baseline alignment positioning is not garanteed, is not good. Issue 2 ------- line 19 widows: 1; orphans: 1; I do not understand why widows and orphans have to be specified: is there a need to use, specify 1? If/Assuming these declarations are needed, then shouldn't the test be flagged as paged? The default is 'orphans' Value: <integer> | inherit Initial: 2 'widows' Value: <integer> | inherit Initial: 2 I see the occurences of issue 1 and issue 2 in many multicolumn tests. [1]: "The reference file uses a different method to produce the same rendering as the test file. (...) it is necessary to use features that, although different from the tested features" http://wiki.csswg.org/test/reftest#the-reftest-reference-file regards, Gérard -- Contributions to the CSS 2.1 test suite: http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/ CSS 2.1 Test suite RC6, March 23rd 2011: http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20110323/html4/toc.html CSS 2.1 test suite harness: http://test.csswg.org/harness/ Contributing to to CSS 2.1 test suite: http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/web-authors-contributions-css21-testsuite.htmlReceived on Tuesday, 15 May 2012 19:37:40 UTC
