Version: 5.0 (Seamonkey)
Build: Jan_26
Platform: Win NT 4.0 & Linux RedHat kernel 2.0.36

Description:
The text "Search for" in the top banner is split in two lines, while the same
text remains in one single line when displayed in Communicator 4.50 or IE 4.0.

The same issue happens on Linux.

Steps to reproduce:
1. From the Browser, load the page for above URL

Result: "Search for" text split in two lines
Expected: "Search for" displayed in a single line

The text is inside a table so I'm assigning it to Chris
Target Milestone: M2
Inserting Milestone info.
Setting all current Open/Normal to M4.

I can't reproduce this bug, as lycos has since redesigned its site.  This was
probably a problem with the NOBR tag.
Gee. This may not be good news, but I had a copy of Lycos from April 10th
showing the bug. So, I've attached it for testing. In compensation, I've
also done a test set that shows (I think) that this is a problem with the
distribution of width to auto-width table cells that a colspanned by another
row. [Case (1) is similar to Lycos; Case (2) shows it working correctly when
the spanning cell is itself auto-width; the other cases are other fixed and
percentage width cases that do not work quite right). See also bug #6404
and http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showattachment.cgi?attach_id=188
(tested 1999051308 win95).
[TESTCASE] The second attachement here is a very good testcase demonstrating
the problems very well.

Whiteboard: [TESTCASE]
Testcase is definitive. Marking as [testcase]...

Problem:
When changing the width of a colspanning TD, the text underneath it "goes wonky".
It is split up into seperate lines and does all sorts of crazy stuff. See
testcase.

Fixed mostly with 7/28 changes. But, please wait for 8/4 build to verify.
vrfy, all of the testcases look the same. This took a year to verify, I hope 
that's long enough :o
