172789 - Invalid background color for table with 'display: inline'

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 135994

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[M. A. Sridhar]

When a table has the 'display: inline' attribute, its background color is
rendered incorrectly: Only a part of the last row has the correct color.

Attachment: Test case to show incorrect color. IE 5 gets this right.

You'd think there would be a difference between inline and block...

The rendering is correct, and if one wants to stress the inline mode for a
table, display:inline-table is the way to go, methinks.

See bug 135994 and bug 18217. Especially note attachment 78062 [details] and attachment 78676 [details].

Attachment 78062 [details] will clarify what inline really means, and from this it is
clear why the background-color in this bug should only apply to the actual
_line_ the table is aligned to. (The color, on the other hand, applies to all
text within the table, if this seems confusing.)

I am not sure this is a bug or not, but it is a dupe nevertheless.
