22686 - Resizing orphans text boxes outside their parent table cells

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[Nisheeth Ranjan]

1) Goto http://www.mozilla.org/newlayout/xml/books/books.xml
2) Maximize your browser window
3) Click the "Toggle Style" button
4) Click the "Author" button
5) Make the window narrower by resizing its width

When the window is narrow enough so that the table's dimensions change from 3x2
to 2x3 (cols x rows), you will see two text boxes "orphaned" outside their
parent table cells on the far right.

This bug is part of the effort to break out the different problems reported in
bug 19612 into different bugs.

Reproduced exactly as reported; reducing the browser window from ~1000px
to ~850px in step 5 makes the problem show up while leaving the orphaned
textboxes clearly visible.

Tested with: 1999-12-25-08-M13 nightly binary on Windows NT 4.0sp3

Found a different way to get the orphaned textboxes: sorting the list
while the textboxes are visible, then compacting the list again. Filed as
bug 22692.

I don't see the problem, but it's probably related to the other problems
reported on this page.

Re-assigning to Nisheeth to provide a simple test case or narrow the problem
down

Based on reporters comments, I'm marking verified works for me. I can't reproduce 
on the Feb 01 build (Win 32).
