12003 - Floated element inside table is badly aligned

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[jeroen]

Look at the page. The table in the center does have thick black vertical lines (+/- 1.5 cm) and that's not supposed to happen.

There may be multiple problems with this page, since it has complicated
nested tables. One of the problems can be seen in the following example:
---
<table border>
  <tr>
    <td><img align="right" src="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ant.jpg"></td>
  </tr>
</table>
---
The table gets stretched to the width of the viewport because the image
is right-aligned to the viewport instead of the table cell. (Or so it seems.)

I've tested with
 <div style="float: right">foo</div>
instead of <img> to see the problem is applies generally to floated elements.

Chris, the table cell ends up too wide. This may be a block problem, but I
figured we should start with tables.

I saw a similar bug recently, but I can't seem to find it

Kipp, I turned on the table reflow debug flags in nsTableFrame.h and it looks
like the cell's area frame is saying that its desired size is around
NS_UNCONSTRAINED_SIZE in the attachment. I've seen the same problem when a cell
contains an image that can't be found even though the cell has its width set.

The test case now works dandy -- right floaters in table cells now work much
better.
