The page body is a 3 column table, and has fixed width of 768 pixels. The left
and right columns also have fixed width, but the middle column does not fit into
the remaining space.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just look at the URL

Actual Results:  
I see a page with a horizontal scrollbar.

Expected Results:  
Fit the middle column into the remaining space.

When editing the page with composer, I can fix the problem by changing the table
width of one of the tables from unspecified to 100%.

The affected part changes from:
<table border="0" align="left" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0">
To:
<table border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" style="width: 100%;">

Attachment: test case HTML

There is an original.htm file in the ZIP, and also there is a fixed.htm.
I tried to reduce the difference to one line in the html.

Tested URL above with 1.3 and trunk. Didn´t look at attachment.
Confirming error with 1.3, don´t see the right column without scrolling half the
screen.
Works for me with current nightly:

Reporter could retest with a current nightly, or the 1.4a once it is released.
