268424 - first table-column is too expanded (unicode entities included), other pages are correct

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Juergen Auer]

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

The table lists unicode-entities in the first column. On some pages
(latin-extended-b.html, greek-and-coptic.html) the first column is extremeley
width, but td width='...' is not defined. Other pages created at the same way
are displayed correctly
(http://www.sql-und-xml.de/unicode-database/basic-latin.html,
greek-extended.html), the difference between the pages is only the Unicode-Block
which is shown and described.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. See http://www.sql-und-xml.de/unicode-database/latin-extended-b.html
2. Switch to http://www.sql-und-xml.de/unicode-database/greek-extended.html

Actual Results:  
Scrolling to the right shows, that the title of the first column is missing, the
other columns are shown correct.

Expected Results:  
The software should show the table correct, like the other files there.

All pages are XHtml1.1-valide. A user cannot use these tables because he can't
scroll every time from left to right and back. The very old browser Netscape 3.0
shows the tables correct (not the Unicode-entities), but a reader can see the
complete table and all the other informations. So 'major' as status.

The same problem exists with the new FireFox-1.0 on the page
http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/latin_extended_b.html
other blocks like
http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/latin_extended_a.html
are correct (Juergen Auer)

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
