22610 - [FLOAT] link `click zones' misaligned with text, floated table problem

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[Joe Korty]

The URL is a news article with a column of clickable links on the right.  The
`click zone' for each link does not line up with the text associated with that
link.  This is easily seen by watching where the arrow-cursor changes to a
hand-cursor.  For example, on the link `Gemstar surges on Nasdaq', the clickable
zone is only over the characters `daq', even though the whole phrase is
underlined as clickable.

Links in the main body of the article appear to be fine.

I am using mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-M12.tar.gz, Redhat Linux 6.1, 120 MHz
Pentium, 64Megs memory, Gnome/Enlightenment.

Not sure where to start, I picked HTMLFrames.  Pavlov, do you see this?  If you
can debug it a bit, please fix or reassign.  Thanks,

Bug also occurs with build 1999122208 on Windows 98 SE.
The right floating table is overlapped. Seems more like a Layout issue.

the original url is unavailable, but I looked at the attached test case and a 
number of other pages on CNET, and I couldn't find any problems associated with 
floating tables and/or links that were not properly clickable.
