# Name Description
1 A media attribute that contains a recognised Media Descriptor isn’t truncated before it encounters a succeeding unknown or invalid Media Descriptor Bug Ticket
2 Parsing of selectors that succeed an (invalid) end-tag open delimiter within the STYLE element (HTML4 spec violation) Section 6.2 of the HTML 4 spec states >the first occurrence of the character sequence “ NOTE: Only paragraph #5 in the test case relates to this example Test Case Bug Ticket
3 Illegal parsing of a z-index decimal value, rather than an integer Bug Ticket
4 Block-level elements in normal flow with rtl direction are not resized dynamically when window is resize; thus a page refresh is required for the layout to display correctly
5 ‘Flash of Un-Styled Content’ (FOUC) when using @import rule Initial analysis suggests that using the @import rule triggers FOUC, similar to the issues seen in IE6 & IE7. Bug Ticket
6 Horizontal margin of block-level element (in normal flow, with an overflow value other than visible) creates horizontal space between aforementioned element and preceding floated element Bug Ticket
7 Value of malformed width property is parsed
8 Horizontal clickable/:hover area of inline element (nested within a block-level element) is consistent with the horizontal clickable/:hover area of a block-level element in normal flow Bug Ticket
9 filter property with vendor prefix doesn’t work, whilst property without prefix does work This behaviour goes against the documentation released from IE regarding vendor extensions Bug Ticket
10 A background-color value (other than inherit) specified within a :hover pseudo-class block isn’t distributed to multiple lines if the initial element selector contains background-color:inherit Credit must go to Vasil Rangelov (a.k.a. boen_robot) for bringing this bug to my attention. Bug Ticket
