In my efforts to find a fix for bug 92143, after I created a fix for the problem
we had on hotmail.com, I had the ideea to test all possible combinations of
width and  nowrap (white-space:nowrap) to see what I broke with mi fix. As it
turned out, I broke a lot :-( and so I had to add an aditional test to leave the
other cases untouched by my fix be cause of the nsbranch+ nomiation for that
bug. (see bug 92143 for details).

However, I still think that we have to consider all the other cases (see
following attachment) and also find out which of the other bugs are related to
this issue.

The problem mozilla has is that nowrap gets passed to the blocks even though
there is a width on the parent(cells) and since the blocks deal with nowrap, the
width on the parent(cells) is ignored. Unlike mozilla, IE is ignoring the nowrap
if there is a fixed width on the cell, but in some cases is using nowrap as a
hint not to shrink the cell if the window gets resized(smaller). 
(note that IE does not make any difference here between quirk-mode and standard)

Another issue here is the way IE handles combinations of fixed and procent
widths when the windows are resized. I will prepare a testcase for this issue too.

removing myself from the cc list
In strict mode, white-space: nowrap should not in any way be affected by the
'width' property. I take it this bug is only about quirks mode?
Keywords: compat
well, yes, it is quirks mode only since is refering IE and NAV

IMHO we should WONTFIX this, if it is only for quirks. We should only fix
important quirks, and since this has been open since late 2001 without much
movement, it doesn't rank highly on my importance scale.

retargeting
Target Milestone: mozilla1.1alpha → Future
The rendering for the testcase is correct per CSS 2.1.
This is definitely a WONTFIX/INVALID in my opinion.

Bernd recently made the quirk Alexandru had added actually quirks-only... 
Bernd, is there anything else to do here?  I think I agree that this is WONTFIX.
>Bernd recently made the quirk Alexandru had added actually quirks-only... 

/me starts to whistle and to look as innocent as possible....

bug 277232 has a pending review question that I did not answer ....


Sure.  But I think this is wontfix regardless of the answers there.
