133255 - bad interaction between site navigation bar & fixed position tables

Status: NEW

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Fred L. Drake, Jr.]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020310
BuildID:    2002031008

This only appears when the Site Navigation Bar is set to "show only as needed".

When moving from a page which has no navigation links to one that does,
carefully constrained fixed-position tables get the cell width computations
wrong when the site navigation bar is added to the display.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set the Site Navigation Bar to only appear when needed:

View -> Show/Hide -> Site Navigation Bar -> Show Only As Needed

2. Visit a page that does not have any navigation <link> elements:
   http://starship.python.net/~fdrake/mozilla-bugs/snb-interact/index.html

   The Site Navigation Bar should not be visible at this time.

3. Follow the link on the page linked to above.

Actual Results:  The navigation table is not properly laid out (the darker blue
box on the left takes up much of the window horizontally, even though the icon
uses width=32 and the <td> element gets width: 32px from the style sheet.

Expected Results:  The navigation bar should have looked like the one on the
previous page -- the <td> should only be 32px wide.

"The operation timed out when trying to contact starship.python.net".

Anyone still seeing this in a recent build (and which one)?
