IE8 Release Candidate 1 public build launched
After several months without a public build, we’ve finally got to the RC1.
They’ve fixed around 8 of the 16 of the bugs (that I logged) that were present in the pre-RC1. A list of the bugs that were fixed between the pre-RC1 and this latest build are below:-
| # | Name | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Dynamic changes to counter-increment?? |
Test Case | ||
| 2 | Children’s counter does not take into account the scope of the parent’s counter, resulting in incorrect incrementation. |
This issue goes against the self-nesting nature of counters, as defined in 12.5.1 |
Test Case | Bug Ticket |
| 3 | Vertical scrollbar when using overflow:auto, and certain combinations of EM units for line-height and font-size for descendant elements | Test Case | Bug Ticket | |
| 4 | Mispositioned borders and outlines on elements when parent element has a negative text-indent |
Test Case | Bug Ticket | |
| 5 | TABLE-displayed element (in normal flow) is rendered below preceeding floated element | Test Case | Bug Ticket | |
| 6 | Expanded :hover (and clickable, if A element) area (caused by Padding) of inline element not honoured | Test Case | ||
| 7 | Bullets or counters within a list (OL or UL, with rtl direction) are affected by the highlighting text within their immediate succeeding element |
Test Case | Bug Ticket | |
| 8 | Value of malformed width property is parsed |
Test Case |
As you can see they’ve fixed quite a few bugs in this latest build, but the list of bugs in the IE8 Final Build is getting larger and larger by the day; this means its certain that IE8 will not be fully Level 2.1 compliant, as I’ve said before.
