Details

Please take a look at this page.  It does not layout properly (and never
has as far as I know) using nglayout.  It looks like the table columns are not
being spaced out properly.

This seems to be table layout hell; Alternatively, it's a parser bug. Steve will
know which it is, so I'm assigning it to him.

This page is full of some truly aweful HTML.
I've reduced the page down to two primary problems.
1. The first is a <br> tag between table rows.  This seems to split the table.
There is a comment in the test case below for Rick to remove the offending <br>
to see the problem.
2. The second problem is much less clear, probably a closure bug in the parser.
There is a comment in the test case below for Rick to remove the <CENTER> tag to
see the effect of this bug.

Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
[Just for the record, it's still rendering wackily and differently from Comm
4.x using 11.23a.98 Seamonkey builds.]

Verified fixed on 2.8.99 Mac OS build.

However, it doesn't look right on the 2.4.99 Win32 or Linux builds; holding to
formally mark as verified until the 2.9.99 builds are available.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
Looks great on the 2.9.99 Win32 & Linux builds. (okay, there was this small issue
of a Win32 blue screen while scrolling down the page, but that's unrelated. ;)

Thus, verified.
Fix was bad, DOM events will be null because is on the way *in* from frames, 
meaning we havn't build the DOM event yet. My bad (saari typing) for not 
catching this!

Doesn't sound like a very high priority bug. Setting to FUTURE.

This lays out fine in Linux 2000-08-13-09.  This bug is old and grey.  Eli
previously WFM'd this on Windows and Mac.  The only thing I am confused by is
saari's comment.  I think that was meant for another bug.  The next person who
dusts this one off should resolve, IMHO.
This appears to work fine now-- not as the result of any known bug fix.
