195606 - Nested table with height=100% is clipped

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 10212

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect, P2)

Description

[Per Ångström]

Microsoft's Swedish site, "Microsoft Sverige", is rendered flakily in Mozilla:
the content moves wildly while the page is loading, and sometimes the top half
will be cut off.

How to reproduce:
1) Point your Mozilla to the URL.
2) If the top half is not cut off, reload the page a couple of times.

Expected result:
The page should load smoothly, and it should have a page header.

Actual result:
The header jumps while loading, and it disappears just before loading is finished.

Reprocibility:
Almost 100 % when doing a simple reload. A clean cache or a full reload (while
pressing SHIFT) seems to prevent the cut-off effect.

I have tested with a fresh profile, with no apparent improvement. I'm on a 2.7
Mbit/second connection.

This has been confirmed on a few different platforms.

By the way, my build is 1.4a-20030301/Linux.

Nested <table height=100%>

Attachment: Testcase that almost validates

I have extended the first testcase so that it's almost 100% valid HTML. It
lacks a doctype, since the HEIGHT attribute isn't standard.

I'm seeing something similar to this at the following page:

http://www.ocstarwars.com/Temp/New%20Menu/menu.php

I'm using Mozilla 1.3 at work, but I get the same thing at home using Mozilla 1.4.

Basically, the glowing stuff at the top near the right of the screen should be
showing the date.  The far top left corner should be showing an orange death
star, but you can only see the lower 1/3 of it.

Hmm, looks related to bug 10212...
