156634 - Inline elements bottom padding and border affects table cell height [INLINE]

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect, P3)

Description

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

A cell containing an inline element with top border or padding correctly ignores
the top border or padding when sizing the cell:

   http://www.hixie.ch/tests/adhoc/css/box/table/013.xml (works)

However, any bottom border or padding is taken into account and makes the cell
bigger, instead of letting the inline's vertical box model overflow:

   http://www.hixie.ch/tests/adhoc/css/box/table/012.xml (THIS IS THE TEST CASE)

The same doesn't happen with blocks or floats:

   http://www.hixie.ch/tests/adhoc/css/box/block/008.xml (works)
   http://www.hixie.ch/tests/adhoc/css/box/float/024.xml (works)

We really have 2 or 3 other bugs like this.  The basic problem is that tables
use the overflow area for sizing, which is really a concept that should only be
used for painting and event handling optimizations and for the extent of scrollbars.

The table code should be using the size of its children and the YMost of the
space manager.

right now.
