#116 Text crumpled corruption in web sites

[Damien Stewart]

I've found text corrupted is some sites. In this case it is all mashed up over each other. I collected the link to one such site. There would be more. This demonstrates it on the bottom.

I know there are still some cases of badly rendered/characters - but as the linked case renders the same in Leopard WebKit, stock Safari 5.0.6 and even TenFourFox, I suspect it's the web site itself which causes the bad rendering.
Do you happen to have other examples?

[Damien Stewart]

I've so far not found any other examples but will collect them if I see any.

It's the CSS of the website who's broken. To solve it, simply click on the "corrupted" text and choose "Inspect Element" and select <li class="comment byuser comment-author… >. In styles disable the property height: 1% of the .commentlist li rule and … magic… no more text-corruption…

Thanks for this. I don't usually agree with putting in workarounds for badly coded sites. But it seems more likely than the sites being fixed by the maintainers before or after a bug report.

As you can see I left you alone for your names sake. At least for a little while.:-)
