Well, it was "standards-compliant" in the sense that everything validated, it just produced an undesired visual effect. :) Specifically, in 2004 someone added some code to MW that served different content to KHTML to work around a KHTML bug. It turns out that same code got served to WebKit, even long after the bug was fixed (i.e., the UA sniffing in MW was completely broken). For some reason that I'm not clear on, WebKit still rendered the broken markup correctly (if in almost-standards mode) until a few months ago, at which point it started rendering this more standards-compliantly and the bug cropped up. Actually, I had removed the code from MW somewhat before this point, but it will take a *long* time for the fix to make it out to all or even most MW installations. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
