218928 - Text in a TD is displayed out of the TABLE for a particular screen width

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 187899

(Core :: Layout: Block and Inline, defect)

Description

[Philippe Bajoit]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030910 Firebird/0.6.1+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5b) Gecko/20030910 Firebird/0.6.1+

The right cell of the TABLE contains 2 words. A reduced screen width makes it
possible to have the 2nd word out of the cell (and out of the TABLE)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Display the page
2. Reduce the screen width until the 2nd cell is less large than the text in it


Actual Results:  
The text is displayed in and out of the cell.

Expected Results:  
Should display the last word on a new line.
Display the content of a TD inside of it.

The test case is valid HTML 4 strict.
The problem seems to be related to the presence of comments, TAB, CR in the text
in the cell - a slight change on these not displayable characters is enough to
have a normal display.

I see the same problem on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6 even though its really old.

See also bug 187899, which describes a very similar issue.

->block&inline

I'm actually surprised we treat   correctly in this case (I think we don't
in most).  But we don't do the min-width calculation correctly.  Too many
codepaths...
