Description David Kilzer (:ddkilzer) 2007-09-11 10:04:13 PDT
* SUMMARY
Overlapping text appears at the top of the "Fareway" Wikipedia page.

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open URL in Safari/WebKit:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fareway

* RESULTS
Overlapping text appears on the page.

* REGRESSION
Tested with a local debug build of WebKit r25488 with Safari 3 Public Beta v. 3.0.3 (522.12.1) on Mac OS X 10.4.10 (8R218).

Same issue occurs with Safari 2.0.4 (419.3) with original WebKit on 10.4.10, so this is not a regression.

Firefox 2.0.0.6 and Opera 9.22 render the page differently (not as much text is shown, and it doesn't overlap).

This is not a bug in layout and rendering code. Given the same page source, Firefox renders the same overlapping text. Even when spoofing as Firefox, Safari is served this bit of source that Firefox isn't:

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
<!--
document.writeln("\x3cdiv style=\"position:absolute; z-index:100; right:100px; top:3px;\" class=\"metadata\" id=\"anontip\"\x3e\n\x3cdiv style=\"text-align:right; font-size:80%; line-height:150%;\"\x3e\x3cspan style=\"white-space:nowrap\"\x3e\x26bull; Your \x3cb\x3e\x3ca href=\"http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Fundraising\" class=\"extiw\" title=\"wikimedia:Fundraising\"\x3econtinued donations\x3c/a\x3e\x3c/b\x3e keep Wikipedia running! \x26bull;\x3c/span\x3e\x3cspan id=\"10_things\"\x3e\x3cbr/\x3e\x3cspan style=\"white-space:nowrap\"\x3e\x26bull; \x3ci\x3eLearn more about \x3ca href=\"/wiki/Wikipedia:Researching_with_Wikipedia\" title=\"Wikipedia:Researching with Wikipedia\"\x3eusing Wikipedia for research\x3c/a\x3e\x3c/i\x3e \x26bull;\x3c/span\x3e\x3c/span\x3e\n\x3c/div\x3e\x3c/div\x3e\n");
