Hello Lists,
I browse using Konqueror with Images "turned off" so that large size images aren't fetched. (or for that matter any image, irrespective of its size). (sometimes, or at times use Mozilla Firefox)
As per rules of W3C, the "alt" tag is compulsory for images, and Konqueror doesn't seem to read that attribute and display it when images are turned off.
Therefore, I have filed a bug with kde's bug tracking system with Id 145224 (so that you can search the report of this bug).
If you can vote for this bug, may be it'll get some attention and fixes for this will be applied.
Konqueror has known to be pretty standards compliant and is the *fastest* browser (wow!, Ah! Wrong word ;) ).

what do you mean by 'voting' for a bug? Does it mean some sort of 'me too' post designed to nag the developers? If so, that is not good. If it means replicating the bug and reporting the smallest possible case when it appears. Or investigating the causes. Or suggesting a patch. Or providing a patch. Or writing tests to validate the patch. Or writing tests that any patch should satisfy. Then ok.

There is a voting system in bugzilla by which you can vote for a bug you want fixed. The significance is that high voted bugs get fixed faster. While this sometimes works well towards pleasing a sufficiently large user base, it sometimes leads to some serious bugs being ignored. Something like this one, which has been ignored since 2004:

not a very rational way of developing software - if the developers get influenced by this kind of thing, development will get skewed

Voting is not the only way to prioritize. There's also severity, which holds higher priority over votes. In the end though it is upon the developer to prioritize.
