You must have some kinda serious video problem. Try running in DOS.
The <NOBR> test functioned perfectly in Arachne and exactly the same as
it did in Netscape. 
See MY screenshot: http://caverge.arachne.cz/linked/nobr.gif

Here my Arachne shows it like your Arachne, but the HTML is wrong so ... ?

My Arachne shows it the same way my Netscape did.

Ok, on my Arachne the first half was aligned right on the QADT first pass
but re-aligned to left on the final pass. I didn't check the HTML, but if
it is correct it IS a bug !

What the heck are you talking about ?  WHAT solid bright vertical ??
There is no solid bright vertical showing on either the normal or zoomed
image on MY Arachne screen. Get out of WINDOWS !!

Nuts. It looks just the same in my Arachne. Except for the noisy crap 
around the edges, (which is in the image) it looks the same as Netscape.

I hope you will try to eliminate some of the defects built into the
demos. Write to me offlist and we can try to look at your video problems.
