The html document is made of a single <table>. The document is generated from
javascript and opened in a popup window. Note that the size of the popup is
modified after the document has been loaded.
When the height attribute of the table is set to 100% a vertical scrollbar
appears. Whatever the size of the popup. In the examples the size of the window
is sufficient to remove any need of scrollbars. If you maximize/minimise the
window, the scrollbar disappears.
The example page presents several cases. I was preparing a test connected to bug
#88035 when I've found the problem. The first case is an example of that bug.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Vertical scrollbar appears

Expected Results:  
No vertical scrollbar should appear

I meant "maximize/restore" not "maximize/minimise".   ;)

This works for me with the 20030629 build on W2K.
Try a new build with a fresh profile.

I can confirm this behaviour using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US;
rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030629 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

Unfortunately I currently don't have a recent SeaMonkey build available. Marc,
do you see this also in latest SeaMonkey build?

I've tested it once again with Firebird and Mozilla nightly builds. The problem
is still there.

By the way, can someone tell me why this bug doesn't appear in my list?
It would be easier to keep track. Not that I've reported many, this is only the
second one, but...   ;)

When javascript permissions are set so javascript cannot resize or move a
window, all the links at http://tests.bd.dyndns.org/Mozilla/table-test.html have
a vertical scroll bar and are of the same size.  No horizontal scrollbars.

For whatever it's worth...

remove ' topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"' from the
body tag on the second link and you get both scrollbars.

Attachment: another test case

another test case with fewer tags so it's cleaner

Comment 9

[Adam A. Koch]

I just added some more test cases.  I also noticed that I can create a window
with scrollbars=no yet when resized (by the script) the scrollbars appear.

Still happening on 20030830 firebird and seamonkey builds. Moving over to browser.

[Andrew Schultz]

FWIW, all testcases in attachment 127255 [details] show no scrollbars with 1.5b on linux
-- before and after maximize/restore

Comment 13

[Mats Palmgren (inactive)]

All testcases and URL works for me, 2004-07-22-05 trunk Linux.

There are some remaining issues covered by bug 227808, but this bug can be
resolved WFM unless someone still is having problems with the URL/testcase here.
