390862 - Table with intermediate pct-width in colspan flips between two layouts

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

Attachment: testcase

Basic conditions:
 - Colspanning cell, with minimum width lower than its preferred width (i.e. having spaces where we can make linebreaks)
 - One of the colspanned columns has a cell with intermediate percentage width.
 (very high and very low pct-widths don't trigger the bug)

Steps to reproduce:
 - Load testcase
 - Resize browser window horizontally

Observed behavior: 
 Table snaps between a wide and a skinny layout on horizontal window resizes.

Happens in 1.8 branch, but not in trunk.

We don't care about bugs of this type on the 1.8 branch anymore:  we're only fixing security bugs and regressions from security bugs; we explicitly don't want to change layout compatibility.
