I don't see this particular bug so it doesn't seem to be a "general epiphany bug" but a bug specific to a version (or a Linux distro). I'm running Epiphany on Debian Sid (pkg version 2.22.3-9). > I have also found differences in other websites and it seems that it in > most cases is a line break that make the trubble - i.e. a line break > there it should not bee one. > > Epiphaney is a good browser and this beauty spot perhaps lead to that > people choose an other. As other posters have pointed out there are rendering bugs in all browsers, when one looks better than others it usually means that the web site developers have worked around the peculiarities of one particular renderer. Unfortunately that often means they've used IE. It is possible to write web sites that look good in _all_ browsers, but it requires a little extra work. The Mozilla people have a few pages on the topic: https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Using_Web_Standards_in_your_Web_Pages . They also have instructions on how to get site owners to get with the times and write proper pages: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/tech-evangelism/users.html . /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe _______________________________________________ epiphany-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/epiphany-list
