259898 - Lots of nested tables causes failure to render the rest of page properly

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 256180

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

After the post by Neonica, the page stops rendering correctly.  The massive
nesting of tables appears to have caused a rendering problem, and subsequent
table elements fail to render properly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch FireFox
2. Navigate to
http://dynamic6.gamespy.com/~evilgenius/viewtopic.php?t=10&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=4020


Actual Results:  
Failed to render tables after the massive nesting of tables.

Expected Results:  
Rendered correctly, like it does in Internet Explorer (unsure how other browsers
render)

I'm running XP SP 2, in case that could have something to do with it.

Confirmed on Windows XP SP2, Firefox 1.0PR:

More specifically -- the cell background seem to turn black afterwards the
massive nesting. It seems it starts since it somehow lose style information,
since the text at the immediate start of the bug is using the default Times font
(instead of the one defined in the CSS) as well as losing the colors.

This seems to be a dupe of bug 256180.
