211641 - Vertical scrollbar is not triggered by table overflow

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[S Woodside]

cannot view lower part of page. Looks fine in Safari 1.0. Tested with Camino
recent nightly and Mozilla 1.4 (mac os X)

The problem is that the DIV tag that holds all of the main content looks like this:

<div align="center" style="width: 593; height: 543">

The height is set to an absolute, and Mozilla truncates the content that extends
beyond it.  I'm not sure if this is expected or not (I suspect it is) because
it's a quirks-mode document with an invalid CSS definition here (since there is
no unit to go with the numbers for width/height).

Changing OS/Platform to all/all since I see this in 20030627 PC/WinXP.

Still, overflow should be visible, but it actually looks like the table is
trying to wrap the content.  -> Tables.

Bug 172896, of course.  But that only means it's a duplicate of bug 173277.

This is mostly fixed by bug 173277, however the viewport vertical scrollbar does
not appear until I trigger a reflow.

the table now displays properly.  But anything after the table is displayed in
the middle of the table, where mozilla was truncating the table originally. 
Look for the two lines that say:

"Copyright 2002-03 State University of New York at Buffalo Electrical &
Engineering Department
Questions or Comments about this site contact: Webmaster"

These are displayed in the middle of the table, when they should be displayed
directly after.  For me the lines are displayed in the middle of the picture for
Alexander Cartwright.

Greg, that's the right behavior when a box overflows in the CSS layout model.

See bug 218659 comment 2 for the bad styling.
