292791 - Overflow: hidden on decentants affects table cell size incorrectly

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[James Ross]

If overflow: hidden is set on a child of a table cell, the cell will size to its
own desired width ignoring the set size of the child.

The following page is a simplified version of the original page with the
problem, and shows that simply changing overflow from visible to hidden changes
the size of the table cell.

A test-case version of the issue can be found here:

    http://silver.warwickcompsoc.co.uk/temp/overflow-testcase.html

I am marking this a regression, because in FF 1.0, and (more importantly) trunk
2005-04-18, the testcase shows all green and everything works, but in 2005-05-01
and 2005-05-03, it does not work.
