256308 - Table Cells not always correctly displayed

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[John A. Bilicki III]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Winblows; U; Winblows XP; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3

Some of the tables on my site have an inset cell.  These are about 150px wide
and are generally on the right side of the page with a dark grey color.  They
are not always rendered correctly and require a refresh for FF to render them
correctly.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit the page... or make the code yourself.
Reproducibility is very high but not always?
Actual Results:  
FF fails to render the cell-inset classed cell in 1/2 to 3/4 of the instances.

Expected Results:  
A cell defined regardless from HTML or CSS should be rendered based on it's
properties.  In this instance it is a style sheet that sets the width...about 150px.

All adjective aspects of the code on my site are CSS.  I think the browser is
rendering the code and neglecting to wait for the CSS file to be accessed and
analyzed.

Let's not see any bugs survive to 1.0!  Only low quality pro-profit companies
put unfinished products on the store shelves! :-)

This bug needs a minimal testcase.

I'm not a FF engineer..I'm a webmaster.  Testcase translates in to what?

A testcase means a simple html file -as short as possible, preferable no
external files- that still shows the problem mentioned in this bug.

I did a little code reduction myself and found the issue is spawned from a work
around on the following bug...

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97283

It's a scrollbar work around to allow the DIV to scroll versus not.  By removing
this fix the page always seems to load correctly.  It just doesn't scroll
without that code.

Original Code
<div class="div-content">

Work-Around
<div class="div-content" onmouseover="fixScroll(this);">
<a></a>

I don't think I understand what comment 0 is saying is wrong with the URL
(perhaps it's been fixed).  John: if you reduced the page down to a testcase,
please attach it and describe what it should look like, and what it does look
like in Firefox.

It's been a while since 0.9.2 IoI... I think see two unrelated bugs in ehre
combined so I apologize.  One bug was the scroll which has finally been fixed
for 1.1 and the other was a design issue though now my fix has been screwed up
by recent builds of FF...

This page's bug though is resolved.
