Acid2 - Rows 10 and 11

One more Acid2 bug has been fixed in build 7621. If the calculated height of an element is negative, then the height of the element should be clamped to 0 (I can't actually find this in the spec., but Ian assured us this was the case). Opera allowed negative calculated heights, which could lead to some interesting renderings. Check this test case to see how your browser handles it.

Now, the height is simply clamped to 0, fixing the rendering of rows 10 and 11. No longer is our Acid2-man indifferent. He's smiling!

What about the ERROR and nose?

I am obviously happy seeing such incredible progress, but I worry about two discussed previously problems: ERROR and nose? Is there a plan to limit the behaviours to quirks mode only?

As I said, we haven't decided

As I said, we haven't decided yet. Those are not trivial changes, so we'll need to do a lot of regression testing. In any case, those changes will not be in 8.01.

Removed?

Was my comment removed, or did something just go wrong when I posted it? Hmm... Can't see that what I wrote was offensive to anyone... If anything, it was encouraging. Anyway, here's what I wanted to say:

Great work guys! Let's hope they're working as hard in Redmond as you are in Oslo (?).

David, There must have bee

David,

There must have been an error, as I can't find the comment anywhere and I don't see an error in my system log.

And yes, let's hope so. :)

Opera Blogs?

Hi, I'm sorry to post in order to do this, but would you be interested in adding your feed to Opera Blogs? It's been doing well the past month or so, and the more bloggers the better. Sorry if you've joined and I just haven't noticed.
