146855 - HTML table reflow problem

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

Description

[Jubal Kessler]

Using Mozilla 1.0 rc3 on Linux. Also confirmed on MacOS X 10.1.

Visit http://www.politechbot.com/ .. the right table overlaps the left. This
shouldn't happen. However, a reload of the page fixes the flow problem.

I've attached an HTML file as a test case.

HTML contains invalid FORM (and image map) placement - not in TABLE cell

i think this bug is either invalid or very serious.
mozilla could simply ignore the content outside the tds.
but like this it badly messes up the parser tree. eg the tds are arrange
vertically and not horizontally.
umm, now this is funny, after writing this i wanted to look at the code again.
NOW its rendered "correctly". the tds dont overlap and the italic texty is
placed above the tds.
very weird bug

The parser should be cleaning this up.

Chris: For backwards compatibility FORMS can be contained inside TABLE. There is
nothing much parser can do about this. 

FYI: When you force a reflow ( by resizing the window ) the problem goes away.

Back to layout.

I am experiencing a problem that is at least very similar to the one described
here; but I experience it only _sometimes_.  Here is an example URL (don't be
surprised if everything looks kosher; it is very tough to reproduce):
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/clubhouse?team=bal
Reloading the document makes things look fine, just like with this bug.  So
before I file a new bug, could someone in the know please have a look at my
screenshot and tell me if I am experiencing the same effect?

Some stuff is not displayed (or at least is invisible for some reason), some
stuff is displayed in too wide of an area...
I even used to see HTML source displayed in the document view in these cases but
couldn't find any reason it should be (I don't see this happening anymore). 
When I copy the source out of View->Page Source into a local file and display it
in Mozilla, everything looks fine (so I am guessing all the data has been
received).  Is this the same effect as in this bug, or what?

I have determined that the situation mentioned in my previous comment is not
related to this bug.  Sorry for the spam.
