278126 - Rendering of Webpage changes when I press "reload"

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[philipp]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041219 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0+dfsg.1-1)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041219 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0+dfsg.1-1)

The above webpage (http://www.vanhoek.de/saufen/erweitert.htm) is not rendered
correctly. This may be due to bad HTML output from Excel but nevertheless: When
you reload the page the rendering changes. 

Things that change:
- The border of the table disappears
- Textblocks lay above each other, so that it is impossible to read the text


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the Page
2. Reload it
3. See the difference



Expected Results:  
The results of the rendering engine should be predictable... So, everytime I see
the page it should look the same way!

I got this message


###!!! ASSERTION: invalid BC damage area: 'PR_FALSE', file
../../../../src/layout/tables/nsTableFrame.cpp, line 4607

so I am quite prepared to believe that your page has tickled
a corner case in layout code, but it is not really my pigeon

See Bug 232345 "Column shifted on adding row to table"

I can confirm the bug it also strikes on:

http://www.oacs.umd.edu/contactus/staffdir.asp


scroll down to the programers, first time it loads the programers are all the
way on the right, after a reload they are properly centered. Yes the html in
there is messy and should be fixed, but rendering should still be predictable.
