127798 - rules=groups doesn't respect colgroups

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect, P3)

Description

[Ari]

Now that the rules attribute is enabled, I realized that when rules=groups moz
correctly places lines between thead, tbody, and tfoot groups. However, when it
comes to colgroups, moz places vertical rules between every column and not just
between colgroups.

In the attached testcase, the first column is part of one colgroup and the other
two columns are part of a second colgroup. There should only be a vertical rule
between the first and second columns (a colgroup boundary) and not between the
second and third column (inside a single colgroup).

Basic html4 would be nice for mozilla 1.0.

If you insert the rule:
     table[rules="groups"] *|*:-moz-table-column {border: none}
into the documents I've tried, rules="groups" works as expected.  This might
work as a temporary fix, although it doesn't actually fix the coding problem. 
The question is, what code is making the columns get a border they shouldn't
have in the first place?
