Status: NEW

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[vincenn]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/89.0.4389.90 Safari/537.36 OPR/75.0.3969.149

Steps to reproduce:

I coded a webpage in html

in head:
<meta charset="utf-8"> <style> div{writing-mode: vertical-rl; dir="rtl"} </style>

in body, a table with
<table border=5>
<tr>
<td bgcolor = white><div>て三伏のあつさをわすれ雪>のあした<br /> の景色には炉に榾くへて酒あゝ<br /> めむ事をほりす嗚呼奇哉此筆を<br /> もてうつさは万物ミなまさに写さゝら<br /> めやはとしきりに感賞す折から仙鶴堂 成安</div></td>
</tr>
</table>

Actual results:

the text appears on the right of the box with a border. The box has the correct height but a width of a few pixels instead of 500 or so.

Expected results:

the text should have appeared inside the box

The table is correctly displayed using the Opera browser

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

I think bug 1166120 is the underlying issue here.

The bug has a release status flag that shows some version of Firefox is affected, thus it will be considered confirmed.
