Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 173088

When you have a table with separate <thead> and <tbody> sections, the border
styles on the <thead> are damaged when the heading is repeated on successive
pages.  (The first page is printed as expected.)

If you just have border-bottom, say for a nice line separating the thead from
the tbody, it is omitted completely on subsequent pages of the table.

If you just have border-top, it shows up 'too thin' on the subsequent pages.

border-left and border-right wind up being printed down the sides of the tbody
as well as the thead.  In print preview (on Linux at least), it is even weirder:
they flicker on and off based on what is at the top of the scrollable preview frame.

At least it is consistent: if you set all borders at once, you get all 3 effects
at once.  The testcase shows this one.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load test.html, attached.
2. File/Print Preview
3. Scroll so the second page is visible.
4. Also consider an actual print (perhaps to file).
Actual Results:  
Borders on <thead> on subsequent pages are not printed or previewed correctly;
top is too thin; left and right extend too far down the page; and bottom is
missing completely.

Expected Results:  
Printed/previewed the same border that is shown around the <thead> on the first
page.
