Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

If you have someting like...
   <ol style="padding-left:0px;">
    <li> Item 1</li>
    <li> Item 2</li>
    <li> Item 3</li>
   </ol>
on your page, mozilla does not display the numeration and if you have something
like...
   <table cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" border="1"> 
    <tr>
     <td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
     <td>
      <ol style="padding-left:0px;">
       <li> Item 1</li>
       <li> Item 2</li>
       <li> Item 3</li>
      </ol>
     </td>
    </tr>
   </table>
on your page the list even exceeds the cell borders!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should display the numeration aligned to left and of course it should
not exceed the cell borders!

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I don´t belive that this is a dup of 128060
because of 2 reasons:

1. AFAIK Bug 128060 is about the difference between padding and margin. My bug
is espacially about an incorrect way mozilla interpretates padding.
If I have a table with a list inside Mozilla must not "break" the borders of the
cell where it is coded in even if it would have been better to use a margin than
a padding.

2. It seems to me that mozilla "overwrites" the number generated by the <li>.
This should also not happen, when you use a padding-left:0. Because using the
padding-parameter on a OL-Tag is IMHO a valid usage of padding according to the
CSS2-Specs.

No, it is a duplicate.

IE specifies the default indentation using margin, which is bad (see bug 2038).
 We specify it using padding.  If you set padding to zero, that un-indents the
UL in Mozilla, but not in IE.  You should specify both padding and margin.
