Description David Anderson 2007-12-19 08:43:08 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

When Konqueror has image loading turned off, it doesn't display the alternative text from the ALT attribute.

This makes Konqueror basically unusable for users on slow bandwidth connections who have images turned off - many websites use images for navigation, and if the alt tag isn't shown then Konqueror displays nothing at all, and so the website is unusable.
