130714 - Improper Wordwrap

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect, P2)

Description

[Charles Shuller]

I have noticed this problem on several sites, using both Milestone build 0.9.9
and the nightly build from 13-mar-2002.  It may be helpfull to note that my
resolution is currently set to 800X600.  I've created a testcase, which I hope
is helpfull. The conditions to create this bug seem quite complex.  Nested
tables, blockquotes and bold tags all seem necessary.  The major contributor
however seems to be setting cellspacing in the child table to a high value,
though in the origional HTML cellspacing was only set to 5, there were other
factors I have since removed.  While the nested table lays out properly, the
parent table seems to require much more space horozontally than would otherwise
seem necessary.

WFM, 2002-03-13-03 trunk on Windows 98 SE. It renders exactly as in IE6 for me.
I fail to see any bug here, isn't the "extra" horizontal space just the default
BLOCKQUOTE margin?

I have to agree with Mats, thats why I added the background colors, whats the
issue here. The blockquotes margin cannot be squeezed

Regarding the blockquote margin forcing the expansion of the table.  I agree,
and will more thoroughly investigate next time.  I'm going to attempt to change
the status to INVALID.
