Actually, I noticed something very interesting, at least on 528+ (6.0.472.36 beta)

Here's my post from: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=773#c30

If you set a large enough width and height on an image, the alt text will show.  min-width and min-height will work.  The problem is, the image alt text will not wrap at all and that little image placeholder icon actually knocks the alt text somewhere else so it doesn't show if it's not much taller than that icon.

It actually does obey any text styling you have listed on the img. so img { font-size:20px; } works, but makes it so the box needs to be even bigger.

Perhaps another bug should be filed as it seems the issue has been a side effect of something slightly different.


It should act like a div with overflow hidden and maybe that icon floated right.  The text should wrap around within the constraints of the image.  But that's only for images with set dimensions.

For images without set dimensions, the method FF handles it is nice, just replace the image with the alt text like it were on the page, completely selectable and <strike>searchable</strike>

But it would be nice if it were searchable.
