Summary: Snippet editor is useless as bug reduction tool. It always works in strict mode (CSS1Compat) despite DOCTYPE. Steps to reproduce: 1) Go to "Show Snippet Editor" in Debug menu. 2) Type the following code: "<html> <head></head> <body> <script type="text/javascript"> document.write(document.compatMode); </script> </body> </html>" Expected behavior: Preview should display: "BackCompat" Current behavior: Preview displays "CSS1Compat"
