Two CSS rendering bugs [ From W3C CSS conformance suit ]

Fri Jan 17 15:22:19 GMT 2003

Hi,

this bug is in there since ages, and has nothing to do with the parser 
rewrite. In fact the bug is not related to the CSS parser at all, but to some 
missing feature in the rendering engine.

It currently has a rather low priority for me as it's a huge amount of work to 
fix it and there are much more urgent problems.

Thanks for the report anyways,
Lars
