139803 - Image acts as breakable character in table cells

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 139723

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[Grant Wagner]

Using:

<table border="1">
<tr valign="top">
<td>some text</td>
<td width="1%">&nbsp;<img src="..." align="top"></td>
</tr>
</table>

The image appears one text line down in the table cell, as if the non-breaking 
space were a breakable space, and it was wrapping the content of the 1% wide 
cell. The problem is, if you replace the image with text (<td 
width="1%">&nbsp;ABCD</td>), this behaviour does not occur. Since there is 
no "breakable" content in the 1% wide cell, the content of this cell should not 
wrap.

Also note that adding "nowrap" to the cell or <nobr></nobr> tags around it's 
content prevents this behaviour. I just think it is inconsistent to allow 
<td>&nbsp;<img ...></td> to break, but <td>&nbsp;ABCD</td> not to.

I am wondering if this could be related to other image/table alignment issues 
such as bug 116428.

This behaviour is occurring in 1.0 RC1 and Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 
5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.9+) Gecko/20020424
