Bug 15625 – Page rendered incorrectly after submitting feedback form (www.msnbc.msn.com)

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: CONFIGURATION CHANGED
• Component: Layout and Rendering

[David Kilzer (:ddkilzer)]

* SUMMARY
After submitting the Meet the Press feedback form (see URL above), the page that is returned renders incorrectly.

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch Safari/WebKit.
2. Go to URL:  http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6872152/
3. Fill out the form:
Name: Joe WebKit
City & state:  Cupertino, CA
Email address:  [e-mail]
4. Click "Send" button.

* EXPECTED RESULTS
The page returned after clicking the "Send" button should render properly and not display any HTML comments.

* ACTUAL RESULTS
The page returned after clicking the "Send" button is rendered incorrectly.  The content is way too wide (the HTML that should appear in the main content area is off to the right) and there is an HTML comment that is displayed near the bottom of the page.

* REGRESSION
Unknown.  Tested with Safari 3 Public Beta v. 3.0.3 (522.12.1) on Mac OS X 10.4.10 (8R218) with a local debug build of WebKit r26376.

This occurs with Safari 2.0.4 (419.3) with original WebKit on Mac OS X 10.4.10 (8R218) as well, so it is not a regression.

A screenshot of the misrendering from Safari 2.0.4 (419.3).

Safari 3 Public Beta with a recent WebKit looks very similar.

NOTE: The first time I loaded this, the page rendered correctly, but then misrendered on reload.

I tested the webpage: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6872152/, on web archive, since the webpage no longer exists, at the url: https://web.archive.org/web/20050316103743/http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6872152/ in Safari 17.4.1 and the webpage does not get misrendered on load or reload.
