110390 - extra newline appears in table cell when cell width is too small

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[Eric]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.5+)
Gecko/20011114
BuildID:    2001111403

When a table cell width is too small to hold the content, "\n<br>" in your html
may give two newlines in the browser. BTW, this problem doesn't occur in Linux
version of build ID 2001090111 that I have.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Save the HTML code below
2. Open up in the browser

Actual Results:  The two cells give different content.

Expected Results:  The two cells must give the same content as below two lines:
AAAAAAAAAA
BBB

HTML to show this bug:
<table border=1 width=40>
<tr valign=top><td>
AAAAAAAAAA
<br>BBB
</td></tr>
<tr><td>
AAAAAAAAAA<br>
BBB
</td></tr>
</table>

Confirmed: Works as the reporter expects in IE 5.5 and Konqueror 2.X.
Contains an extra CR after "AAAAAAAAAA" in the first cell in build 2001-11-15-03.
Note: NN 4.79 and Opera 5 lay this out exactly like Mozilla, so it might be
desired  for some reason.

the testcase is rendered identical on WinIE6 and mozilla 2004080708

V'ing, not because Mozilla and IE do the same rendering, but because the problem
no longer appears to exist (Win XP SP2, Mozilla 1.8a3).
