Steps to reproduce:

Read a long table

Actual results:

In some old version you rendered tables OK. MS-IE does not and this is a very old bug. It is still in Edge.
Somehow you have - very myseriously - inherited that bug - how has that happened?

The bug:
Long tables are rendered wrong - in a very narrow column. the limit for 'long' is between 200 and 270, mayhap 256?

Example:
http://danbbs.dk/%7Estst/slaegt_adelsvaaben/0_adelsvaaben.htm#R
There is one table pr letter in the alphabeth,
ony letter S goes wrong - being the longest.
Alle tables are the same html, created in one run with a program.

Classification: Severe. Permanent.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::DOM: Core & HTML' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → DOM: Core & HTML

That's because the "Sappi" entry defines width="200" for all its <td>s.

The width=200 is only for the first column. The with of the second column is not defined, i.e shold be 'hte rest of the space available' as it is for the tables of the other letters. tHE HTML is the very same for all the coats of arms, since the html is made by a program.

No, as the Sappi våben (variant) row defines width="200" also for the second column. Thus the HTML is not the very same for all columns, and the current outcome is expected.

Here is the row for the Sappi coat of arms, with my best glasses I can only see '200' for the first column:

<tr> <td width="200"> 
<img alt="" src="sappi_vaaben_1.gif" height="60" vspace="5" width="48"></td>
<td><b>Sappi </b>
våben. Deres 5, 7 el 8 hjerter henviser til kongevåbnet, da de stammer fra en uægteskabelig søn af hertug Valdemar IV af Sønderjylland. Kun een mand hed faktisk Valdemar Sappi. Kendt (-1313-1397-).</td>
</tr>

Checking the wrong row does not help... :) Please see my previous comment.
