159452 - <col span.. > not working as expected

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 139524

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect, P2)

Description

[Fabian Emmes]

If you use the "col" tag in a table, its span attribute isn't working as expected.

For example

<col width="100" span="2" />
<col width="50" span="2" />

should set the width of the first two columns to 100px and the width of the
third and fourth columns to 50px. But instead Mozilla sets the width of the
first column to 100px and the third and fourth to 50px.

Tested on Mozilla 1.0, 1.1a, 1.1b on Linux and Mozilla 1.0 on Windows.

Is this fixed by the patch on bug 139524?

I have tried the patch for bug 139524 with 0731 trunk,
it can not fix this bug.
:(

[Jerry]

the testcase is samilar with testcase 80985 of bug 139524.
so mark this as dup.
