102181 - XUL in XHTML: bad alignment in <grid> layout

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Shawn Vincent]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010913
BuildID:    2001091303

Grids that render fine in a XUL file render badly when embedded in a n XHTML file.

In particular, when a grid is embedded in an XHTML file, cells are not aligned
into columns properly.  See below for more details.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create a grid in a XUL file.  
2. load XUL file into Mozilla, observe it working properly.
2. copy and paste the grid into an XHTML file.
3. load XHTML file into Mozilla, see the bad layout.

Actual Results:  The layout of my sample grid (XML below) looks like this when
embedded in XHTML:

AAAAAAAAAAB
CDDDDDDDDDD

Expected Results:  It *should* render like this:

AAAAAAAAAAB
C         DDDDDDDDDD



Here are two files.  The first works as expected, the second renders badly.

Red borders are placed on all cells to aid seeing the grid cells.  Removing this
styling has no effect on the behavior.

A working XUL file (errorcaseGood.xul):

  <box xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"
       xmlns:h="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

    <grid>
      <columns>
	<column/>
	<column/>
      </columns>

      <rows>

        <row>
           <h:html style="border: solid red 1px;">AAAAAAAAAA</h:html>
           <h:html style="border: solid red 1px;">B</h:html>
        </row>

        <row>
           <h:html style="border: solid red 1px;">C</h:html>
           <h:html style="border: solid red 1px;">DDDDDDDDDD</h:html>
        </row>

      </rows>
    </grid>

  </box>

A broken XHTML file (errorcaseBad.xhtml):

  <h:html xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"
	  xmlns:h="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

    <h:head/>

    <h:body>


    <grid>
      <columns>
	<column/>
	<column/>
      </columns>

      <rows>

        <row>
           <h:html style="border: solid red 1px;">AAAAAAAAAA</h:html>
           <h:html style="border: solid red 1px;">B</h:html>
        </row>

        <row>
           <h:html style="border: solid red 1px;">C</h:html>
           <h:html style="border: solid red 1px;">DDDDDDDDDD</h:html>
        </row>

      </rows>
    </grid>

    </h:body>

  </h:html>

Marking these all WORKSFORME sorry about lack of response but were very
overloaded here. Only reopen the bug if you can reproduce with the following steps:

1) Download the latest nightly (or 0.9.6 which should be out RSN)
2) Create a new profile
3) test the bug again

If it still occurs go ahead and reopen the bug. Again sorry about no response
were quite overloaded here and understaffed.
