Description

Many older browser (Netscape 4, NetFront etc) hate these huge single line CSS statements we have.

Why do we have them? what is the point. Inserting some linebreaks after a few thousand chars seems much safer.

Version: 1.17.x
Severity: normal

What's the actual problem? Does it affect any browser we're having active support for?

/me goes to find a version of netscape navigator to test on.

http://browser.netscape.com/releases in case anyone else wants to try trip down memory lane.

Setting back to UNCONFIRMED. Someone needs to provide proof of there being a problem.

Let's just close it, since realistically it is wontfix. We don't support these older browsers much and though we got this report (or several actually if my memory serves me well) on VP/T about 2 years ago, I haven't heard people complaining about a crashing browser since that time.

I guess they finally gave up on their browsers (or wikipedia :D )
