I was to check the simplified testcase, but the hostname was not found, so I
created my own.

I'm putting it here, and also attaching it for easier viewing from the browser
---
<table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=600>
  <tr>
    <td width=150>two words</td>
    <td width=450>blah</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td width=600 colspan=2>blah</td>
  </tr>
</table>
---
I this testcase "two words" should be displayed in a single line.

The strange thing is that the bug only shows itself when the border,
the cellpadding and the cellspacing are all zero.

Looks similar to bug 2947.

Comment 9

[Chris Booton]

This looks very simular to bug#5797 , when using number of pixels for <td>
widths it seems to (as opossed ot making them that wide) only make them as wide
as the minimal width needed to display the longest word. If it's not a duplicate
then I think it is dependant on it.
