277900 - mixing percent based and pixel based tables caused misalignment of images.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[hostmanila Sitemanager]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

joining a percent based (100% --> filler,550px,filler) table with an absolute
sized table (550px, centered) causes misalignment (1px) of image. this happens
only when firefox is maximized and the vertical scrollbar is present. I
encountered the bug in this page www.audiocompulsion.com but it is clearly
demonstrated and explained here http://www.hostmanila.com/t_fxbug01

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Browser is Maximized
2. Screen resolution at 1024 x 768
3. Enough text is displayed so that the vertical scrollbar appears

Actual Results:  
The images are off / misaligned by exactly 1 pixel.

Expected Results:  
The images should have remained perfectly inline, as it does when the vertical
scrollbar is not present or when the screen is not maximized (even with the
scrollbar present)

I tried to create a testcase based on the information in this report. But even after various tests, i could not reproduce the behaviour described. My tests went only back as far as Fx2, which recently reached its end of life.
