Possible duplicate bugs.  Saw a couple of filed bugs when searching bugzilla
using hte keyword 'hor' and saw at least several of them matching this summary

Attachment: reduced testcase

<table align=right><tr><td>
<img src='http://www.mozilla.org/images/mozilla-banner.gif' width=2000>
</td></tr></table>

align=left works fine (scroll bar shows up)

Attachment: This is another example - HTML is now minimal.

This is another example - HTML is now minimal.
I discovered the problem.
the problem is written also in html comments.
giving align="rigth" in the main table creat this problem.
Another problem it that it's not showing the last <br> tags in the end of file.

It's different problem than bug 6976 (it's not duplicate).
This one is caused because improper use of align attribute in table tag.
Mozilla browser should ignore it - it's a very common web masters mistake.

No, align="right" is valid on the TABLE element in transitional HTML, and this
is what it's supposed to do (create a float), except we should be able to scroll
to reach it.  (Try using align="right" on something smaller than the width of
the browser window.)
