23185 - Nested tables & 'table-layout:fixed;' fail to render inner content.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 10269

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect, P3)

Description

[John Morrison]

So, on bug #22765, buster suggested using 'table-layout: fixed;' to test an
aspect of a problem involving misplaced paint of form controls inside nested
tables (not the solution, just an experiment).

Unfortunately, my experiment resulted in exposing this _unrelated_ problem.

Overview Description:
  Nested tables with 'table-layout: fixed;' fail to render inner content.

Steps to Reproduce:

1) Load up the attachment (to follow) -- first set of nested tables has
   'table-layout: fixed;', second set does not.

Actual Results: if 'table-layout: fixed;', the word "inner" is not visible.

Expected Results: the word inner should be visible in both sets of nested
                  tables.

Build Date & Platform Bug Found: 2000010416 win95

Additional Builds and Platforms Tested On: no others tested

Additional Information:
  I'll ponder the various permutations of this situation; if I haven't
  attached additional testcase and you want them, give me a wake-up call.

Attachment: testcase; nested tables with 'table-layout: fixed' and without

I think I had too many stupid pills for breakfast ... This doesn't require
nested tables, and it may be that I've forgotten the rules for 'table-layout:
fixed;'. I'll go re-read the relevant info; ignore this bug for now.

This is just bug #10269 -- i.e., how to handle table-layout: fixed, when
the table width and all first row columns have auto width. Marking DUPLICATE.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 10269 ***
