266868 - can't click a link that extends out of a layout-table:fixed table

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[Andrew Schultz]

This is an unrelated testcase from bug 230008.  The link extends outside the
table, and clicking on the part of the like outside the table has no effect.

with linux trunk 2004102806, most of the link is outside of the table and
clicking has no effect.

Note that the link is also not painted correctly (eg bring up a context menu
that covers part of it, and watch it not paint right).

I did some testing, and it seems that if I put the text in a <div>, it ends up
clickable as long as the div is narrower than the text.  Once it gets wider than
the text, things break like this.

Of even more interest, nsTableOuterFrame::GetFrameForPoint is simply not called
when I hover over the text that's sticking out.  I can't figure out why not...
