If you do a blank search at the above site, you get a list of jobs.  You can
click on job titles to get a description of the job.  However, the space
allotted for the text is too small, and it can't be read (though more can be
read if the text size is made smaller (or if you 'view code')).

Can't access https://erecruit.fhcrc.org/servlets/iclientservlet/fhjobs/
Changing URL to: https://erecruit.fhcrc.org/index.html
you can easily follow links to get to a page which exhibits the described
behaviour from there.

Component changed to: Browser -> Layout: Tables

Attachment: minimal testcase

The problem seems to be that table cell height is calculated from the height of
the div as specified by the style height, not the actual height.

Confirming.

This time really moving to Browser -> Layout: Tables

Changing summary from: Javascript-generated page has wrong size for included text
to: table cell height should be calculated according to actual height of element
