Content is missing in both a nightly and in 10.4.7. Content is rendered as expected in firefox.

Reduction

The original page contains two unclosed "object" tags.  The second one has no parameters, so I assume it is intended to be the closing tag of the first and has simply had the / omitted.

This reduced test case demonstrates how we handle an unclosed "object" tag differently than Firefox, leading to content not being displayed.

Today WebKit does display the content in the reduction with a vertical border line after it, Firefox and Opera display a border line before and after the line of content.

OK, although we display the reduction slightly differently from other browsers (and they differ among themselves too) - the original bug has been resolved, WebKit does now display content after an unclosed object tag. I don't think there's any right or wrong way to display an unclosed object tag itself so I'm going to close this bug. Please re-open if there's something to do here.
