238064 - {inc} tables grows with font size changes

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[Andrew Schultz]

after forcing an incremental reflow via font size change (Ctrl +/-), the table
increases in width, even when the font is made smaller.  At the URL, the
"express tools" dialog box (lower-left hand) is what became the testcase I'll
attach.  It exhibitted a couple different behaviors as I reduced the testcase,
so fixing the testcase might not fix the URL.

this regressed between linux trunk build 2004020207 and 2004020308, but I don't
see anything in that range that is directly related to this bug.  here's a link:
http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsquery.cgi?treeid=default&module=SeaMonkeyAll&branch=HEAD&branchtype=match&dir=&file=&filetype=match&who=&whotype=match&sortby=Date&hours=2&date=explicit&mindate=02%2F02%2F2004+06%3A00%3A00&maxdate=02%2F03%2F2004+08%3A00%3A00&cvsroot=%2Fcvsroot

backing out bug 197919 didn't help and the only other thing touching layout was
bug 229371.

make the fonts bigger/smaller via Ctrl +/-.  the table gets wider every time.

<table border="1"><tr><td>
<div style="width: 100%; padding-left: 15px; overflow: auto;">
Express Tools
</div>
</td></tr></table>

The behavior of the testcase changed recently.  'Ctrl+' now shrinks width to
near zero, and expands height.  Usability wise, this behavior is much worse than
the prior bad behavior.

Attachment: testcase for recent regression

I guess it was	bug 246999 which regressed this

the maximum width is completely horked for xul frames:
