380119 - 2nd Table entries are missing frames. Problem relates to CSS position:absolute and border-collapse:collapse entries.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 186317

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Mitchell Schoenbrun]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a5pre) Gecko/20070508 Minefield/3.0a5pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a5pre) Gecko/20070508 Minefield/3.0a5pre

The example URL shows the minimal html code that I could find to demonstrate the problem.  The content of the first table is almost irrelevant, however it seems to need the <TR><TD></TD></TR> to cause the problem.   Add additional content if you like.

The position:absolute setting for both tables also seems necessary to cause the problem.  In my example the tables overlap, but you can put in top:##px and left:##px values to change this, but problem still appears.

The problem is that the 2nd table entries have no borders.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. View in Firefox.   Problem also appeared with today's Minefield.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
2nd Table has no entry borders, but of course they should.

Expected Results:  
2nd Table should have borders between entries.

I noticed a recent version of Netscape that seems to have the same problem.

The problem seems quite similar to 186317, and the underlying code problem may be identical, however if you remove "position:absolute;" from this example, the problem dissappears.  bug 186317 does not seem to require "position:absolute;".
