Perhaps you could supply a testcase?

WFM Mac OS 9.1 build 2002052305 (1.0RC3)

oh, its moving for me ;-) RC3 (2002052306) on WinMe. The button flips about 2cm
left as soon as you press the mouse button. And it doesn't move back if you
release the button...

The problem (missing this in bug description) seems to be a "colspan=2" in the
<td> tag. Removing this stops moving the button. I'll provide two testcases
(perhaps somebody can add the keyword, I can't).

Attachment: moving submit-button

Comment 5

[Claus Herwig]

Attachment: same code without "colspan" attribute don't move

Comment 6

[Paul Smith]

Attachment: a test case that still has the problem

Here is an example that illustrates the problem. Note that there is a table
with two columns, the left column and the right column. Below them is another
column with COLSPAN=2 that has the problem. Maybe again I'm missing something.

Yup, now it moves for me as well (both testcaes)... Mac OS 9.1 build 2002052305
(1.0RC3)

dito. It is moving, but now with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US;
rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530 Build ID: 2002053012

But I think I can't set this keyword, too...
Paul Smith: your bug needs you

I see this behavior on win 2k trunk build 2002060704, marking new

Comment 10

[Paul Smith]

I'm changing it to the "All" status because it happens on me in Win2k, Redhat
Linux and apparently for someone else in MacOS 9.1

can you take a look?

Comment 12

[John Keiser (jkeiser)]

Karnaze, this sounds like a table thing to me.  The click of the button causes a
reflow because its style changes.

Comment 13

[John Keiser (jkeiser)]

Assigning to karnaze, the wizard of table triage.  Bounce 'er back if it doesn't
fit there.
