Version: 3.5.2 (using KDE 3.5.2, Kubuntu Package 4:3.5.2-0ubuntu0 breezy) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.12-10-386 Go to groups.google.com and view any message. In the box that shows 'From:' and 'Date:', there is some text: "show options", which is a link and "not yet rated". These two things overlap. Example link: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/b00f35cac273db1f/df37f24588be22aa#df37f24588be22aa

Same here

Confirmed on KDE 3.5.2 r522440. This is the code that breaks: <td><div style="position: absolute"><nobr><font color="#555555">Not yet rated</font></nobr></div> If you change that "position: absolute", it works.

regressed in 3.5.0... likely from the inclusion in lineboxes of positioned children found in initial whitespace for #113527

SVN commit 529640 by ggarand: Fix static Y position of positioned objects in initial whitespace (3.5 regression). we don't want to clear them to next line as there's no previous in-flow linebox. Change bogus/misleading comment.
