Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 146146

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[Paul A. Rombouts]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031016
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031016

Normally the bullets or numbers marking the items in a list appear at the
beginning of each item. If a list item contains a table, however, bullets or
numbers are aligned with the bottom of the table.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
<!-- Display this piece of HTML source in the Mozilla browser -->

<ol> 
                   
<p><li>
<table align="top" valign="top" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr><td><b><a href="/2003/10/31/national/31JUST.html">Critical Study Minus
Criticism of Justice Dept.</a></b></td></tr>
<tr><td>A report that harshly criticized the Justice Department&#146;s diversity
efforts was heavily blacked out on the agency&#146;s Web site but not for
long.</td></tr>
</table>

<p><li>
<table align="top" valign="top" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr><td><b><a href="/2003/10/31/national/31JBOX.html">Unediting the Editing of
Federal Report</a></b></td></tr>
<tr><td>The Justice Department earlier this month posted on its Web site a
report from an outside contractor on employee diversity within the department.
Many of the negative findings in the report, which the department had refused to
release publicly for more than a year, were heavily edited. But Russ Kick, a
writer and editor in Tucson, who maintains a Web site that archives government
documents, found a way around the editing. He said he was able to call up the
document in its Adobe Acrobat format and, using software that allows editing of
PDF documents, then highlighted the blacked out editing bars and deleted them.
The original, unedited text then appeared.</td></tr>
</table>

<p><li>
<table align="top" valign="top" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr><td><b><a href="/2003/11/01/politics/campaigns/01GEPH.html">Daughter Spurs
Gephardt&#146;s Changed View on Gays</a></b></td></tr>
<tr><td>Richard A. Gephardt&#146;s decision to turn the spotlight on his
daughter, who is openly gay, underscores his own evolution in Congress.</td></tr>
</table>

</ol> 

Actual Results:  
Numbers appear near the bottom of the list items.

Expected Results:  
<!-- Alternative piece of HTML source. This doesn't use tables, and displays
with numbers properly aligned, in a way I also expect the first example to be
rendered. -->

maybe a dependency but not strictly a duplicate, since list bullets don't use
'vertical-align: baseline' for a first-child block, only an inline line.

OK, got there via bug 183584, bug 146146 and others...  I just can't believe
this is the first time this is reported... how about bug 54979 then?
(See also bug 167354 comment 8 that supports bug 55456 will fix this.)

ok, never mind, although we'll probably have problems when there's intervening
whitespace.
