http://www.xml.com/2000/03/29/tutorial/examples/books2.xml This XML document does not paint the background outside of the table. Try resizing the page, or loading another page first -- instead of white canvas, there is garbage. A simplified test case, is an XML document that sets css styling "display:table;" on its root element. Saw this on Safari 3.0.4, and WebKit 525.8+
Confirmed. Ugly result. The issue is not visible in Webkit r30236 on Windows.
I think there is a duplicate in Bugzilla.
(In reply to comment #2) > I think there is a duplicate in Bugzilla. Bug 8423. I think the comment on that bug does not reflect what WebKit actually does.
