I've noticed a difference in how Opera 8Beta renders a news article at
MyWay.com versus FireFox 1.0. Specifically, Opera truncates part of
the first sentence, whereas FF displays it properly. Can anyone else
confirm this?

Here's the article link:

You may need a Myway.com login to see this.

Version 8.00
Build 7401
Platform Win32
System Windows 2000

Java Sun Java Runtime Environment version 1.4


Java, Plugins and Javascript all enabled. Thanks,

Please post beta specific issues to opera.beta, f-up set.

This appears to be a quirks mode quirk. As such there is no such thing
as "displaying it properly", it just so happens that FF's quirk mode has
different quirks, Opera 7.5 also displays the missing text.

You can try filing a bug report, but note that emulating IE's bugs is a
difficult game. The non display of the text may well be a side effect of
a change in quirk mode behaviour intended to address another quirk mode
issue on another site.
