Description Eli Fidler 2007-05-24 13:44:28 PDT
For text blocks that are just whitespace and stripFrontSpaces=true, when checking if the block should be considered for breaking, beginWS and endWS are used, but are uninitialized (RenderBlock.cpp:3741).

They don't get initialized in RenderText::trimmedPrefWidths() since it returns early.

I'm not sure if such blocks should be considered for breaking, so I don't know what values to initialize beginWS and endWS to.

Confirming.  This is a regression from newly-added code.

All-whitespace text test case

I think the code in RenderBlock::calcInlinePrefWidths is wrong anyway as demonstrated by this test case.

What kind of effects could we see on real-world sites from this bug?
