Code tags split by a new line cry when moving mouse

[cbrewster]

I have seen this on a few other sites with similar styling for inline code.

Tears of blood?

[cbrewster]

@metajack I guess so!

[KiChjang]

my god this is scary

Am I correct in saying that the "tears" only trickle down when you move the mouse?

[cbrewster]

@KiChjang yes, only when the cursor is moving

This is very sad, poor Servo ;) ...

I tried looking for the ".rs" file for the code tag. I was expecting something like "code.rs" or "htmlcodeelement.rs", and I didn't find anything in "components/scripts/dom". Where does the code for the code tag reside? (I realize it may not be pertinent to the issue)

[cbrewster]

@Coder206 the script/dom directory is more for javascript interaction rather than the styling/layout. I am no expert on that styling/layout/rendering portion of Servo but it looks like this is more of a rendering issue than anything, possibly something that would need to be fixed in Webrender.

As a side note, the code tag is treated as a regular HTMLElement so it doesn't have its own file. https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/semantics.html#the-code-element

I'm can't reproduce this locally. @cbrewster are you still able to?

I do not see it on servo.org, but I still see the issue on github in READMEs where inline code tags get split between newlines. The issue does not appear if the code tag is not split by a newline.
