OVERVIEW DESCRIPTION:

The table cell containing the text ("Chilly Time ...") doesn't get enough space
and the table cell containing the image ("Fall") gets too much.

VERSION & OS:
Mozilla nightly build 1999-10-22-09-M11 on Windows 98 SE.

Testing using testcase with 11/16 build. Column with image (2nd row, 1st
column) still seems too large. Image has a set width of 167px but column is
expanded by more than 50px. Both Nav and IE5.0 expand the 2nd row/3rd column.
Reopening bug.

ChrisD, I just pulled the latest build from mozilla.org and the test case looks
the same as when I closed this bug (usng WinNT). It looks very close to Nav4.6
except that 5.0 puts a few pixels less space between the fall image and the
"chilly" text. I don't know how you are seeing a 50px difference. If you are
using Win98, please try it on WinNT and let me know if it is a Win98 only
problem.

Retested and it looks good now - don't know what happened. Verifying bug fixed.
