283053 - form with "display: table;" hides its internals sometimes

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[ashaduri]

User-Agent:       Opera/8.0 (X11; Linux i686; U; en)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040906

I have a form with a "display: table;" style. The form displays fine, but if I add a <select> element with at 
least one option, the whole form hides (even the text disappears) and only the select element is displayed.
Note that this is not the regular behaviour. Sometimes I have a form with a <select> element and "display: 
table;" style and it displays fine (I guess there are other factors too).
In case anyone's wondering, I use "display: table;" to achieve the width-limited nature of the table - it only 
takes as much space horizontally as it needs and no more. If there is some other way to do it, please tell.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an html form with plenty of elements, especially <select>-s. I used one <select> with one <option>, 
one <input type="text">, one <textarea>, one <input type="submit"> and some text.
2. open the file in mozilla.
Actual Results:  
Only the <select> element was displayed. All other form elements were gone.

Expected Results:  
The whole form should be displayed.

This file is a zip file because when I tried attaching a html file, it
displayed just fine. I guess it has something to do with this site adding some
additional things to the source.
Just extract the zip and open the extracted file manually.

Reproducible on Firefox 1.0 too.

I used Firefox on win2k.
