Infoworld article is cut short

[jruderman]

When uBlock is enabled, only the first two paragraphs of http://www.infoworld.com/article/2905688/applications/mozillas-rust-based-servo-browser-engine-inches-forward.html are shown.

I am using Firefox Nightly on Mac. Updating from the AMO version (0.8.8.2) to the GitHub version (0.9.3.0) did not make the problem go away.

It's because of the following rule in easyList:

infoworld.com##.fakesidebar

[my-password-is-password]

Yeah, like @PalmerAL said, it was infoworld.com##.fakesidebar that is also in Fanboy Ultimate list.

Make an exception in "My Filters"
infoworld.com#@#.fakesidebar

Is China still ddosing github? Its so damn slow for me.

Hi @jruderman!

Like @PalmerAL said, what's causing the rest of the article to be hidden is the ##.fakesidebar filter.

However, there's more to the story. The filter is fine — it's not a false positive. What's going on can be seen if you look at the markup of the article:

... <!-- up until now, the article is visible -->

<aside class="fakesidebar"/>
<!-- ah ha! It's trying to be a self-closing tag;
that just doesn't work out -->

<!-- the article is hidden from here on out
because the browser thinks this is inside the .fakesidebar <aside> -->
...
<p>Don't ditch your existing browser, though. Servo...

More on how self-closing tags don't self-close.

I reported the problem to EasyList and they've fixed it: https://forums.lanik.us/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=22014&e=0

Does Fanboy Ultimate need its own bug report, or do they update based on EasyList?

@jruderman

Does Fanboy Ultimate need its own bug report

No, should be all set.
