Dear fellow www-style colleagues, I need a second opinion and I am open to criticisms. Regarding this testcase: http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/c414-flt-ln-002-draft.htm 1- Is this testcase correct? Am I missing something (except maybe the somewhat tortuous wording of the expected results)? Is there something wrong in such testcase? 2- Shouldn't that margin box of that big triple-A-letters left-floating-box be placed at top-left corner of its enclosing <div> *in the first line box*? 3- When text-selecting/highlighting a chunk of text (by dragging the mouse), we are in fact hightlighting what exactly? I think we are highlighting the content area; I think we are not highlighting the line box. Am I wrong? 4- If you use Opera 10.62 under Windows XP to view such testcase and then Opera 10.62 under Linux, do you see a difference in terms of vertical positioning of the big triple-A-letters box? Yes? No? Regarding this testcase: http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/section9.5.1-vertical-positioning-float.html 1- The bright green square is right after the 3rd word (in the source code) in those 2 examples while the width of the paragraph is large, wide enough to still render the first 5 words of the paragraphs for the first line box. I did that on purpose so that the text versus bright green box would not be in a too tight horizontal space. Opera 10.62 under Windows XP displays the bright green square's margin box starting on the 2nd line box, not on the first line box, in the second example. The 2 examples in that testcase should be rendered identically, pixel per pixel, according to section 9.5.1. Am I missing something here? Can you explain this? 2- Opera 10.62 under Windows XP and Opera 10.62 under Linux render that same testcase differently. Do you see such difference too? What I mean here is that "A floating box must be placed as high as possible" according to CSS 2.1 and that left-floating bright green square is not as high as it can be in the second example of the testcase in Opera 10.62 under Windows XP. On Linux, I assume and expect that "DejaVu Serif" will be used while under Windows XP, I assume and expect "Times New Roman". Anyway, I do not think this explains or should justify differences in rendering here. I can provide screenshots if requested.. regards, Gérard -- CSS 2.1 Test suite beta 3 (August 15th 2010) http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20100815/html4/toc.html Contributions to CSS 2.1 test suite http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/ Web authors' contributions to CSS 2.1 test suite http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/css21testsuite/web-authors-contributions-css21-testsuite.html
