228161 - {inc} Table doesn't display horizontal bar when document.images is triggered

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[Olivier Cahagne]

build ID: 20031207 Win2k & Linux, not a regression, it's been tested with
Mozilla 1.4.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Load testcase, computer setup 1024x768,
2. When loading, see Mozilla display the horizontal scroll bar, then removing it,
3. Scroll at bottom of page, see the letter "f" at extreme right, select it with
mouse and scroll to the right,
Note: Step 2. at first load Mozilla may leave the horizontal scroll bar, if you
reload it, it disappears.

Expected behaviour:
1. Mozilla "should" have probably displayed the text "foofooo..." below the
image. "should" because I'm not a table expert and that's the way IE6 & Opera
7.23 display the page,
2. Mozilla could leave the horizontal bar so that the element can be reached,

The testcase which I tried to minimize as much as possible (and I didn't find
such a dupe with the {inc} bug reports) is from a real world appliance, which I
can give access to (please send me a private e-mail).

The testcase seems to trigger a reflow when issuing the document.images JavaScript.
Mozilla places the text on the left when removing either of these:
 - the JS code document.images
 - the <img tag,
 - or the <colgroup tag,
