243560 - {inc}fixed-layout tables break badly when first reflow has only some col elements

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[David Baron :dbaron: (⌚️UTC-5, no longer working on Mozilla)]

When a fixed-layout table loads such that some of the col elements arrive in one
chunk and the rest arrive in the next, it ends up badly mangled.

Steps to reproduce:
 * compare testcase without <script>document.offsetHeight</script> and testcase
without

Expected results:
 * testcase with script should look like testcase without

Actual results:
 * looks very different

This is partly simplified from an excel-generated table that is attachment
148457 and may be the underlying cause of bug 101013.  I didn't feel the need to
fully simplify the testcase because I think this is sufficient to understand the
bug.
