Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[bugzilla]

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

See image http://www.rabidness.com/firefoxbug.gif.
This highlights the areas in http://www.rabidness.com/firefoxbug.html which fail.

The page uses CSS to create cell borders, where many seperate tables are placed
together with the same width percentages. The widths must not be rounding
uniformly because, as shown in the image, the borders are broke. When resizing
the window, a new set of broken borders will show.

Explorer almost displays this page perfectly, with one or two border errors at
certain window widths.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. CSS border classes placed on table cells
2. Give cells percentage widths
3.

Actual Results:  
See details.

Expected Results:  
Uniform borders.

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
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
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
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

I only encounter "misplaced" borders, when I make the page extremely narrow, but then the effect is not Mozilla-only, but appears in other browsers, including IE, as well.
