287620 - table content flows outside table boundary timing

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[JMV]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050324

The contents of the main table flow outside of its bottom border "most" of the
time.  This is likely a timing bug because if the url is saved to html and
reloaded from file, the problem never occurs.  As is, the problem only occurs
about 60% of the time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/direct/view/.ef1765b
2. Wait for page to load.
3. Hit the [End] key to scroll to the bottom
4. Content overruns the footer area covering ("News | Columns | etc").
5. If this doesn't occur, click one of the numbered links (eg: 151) and repeat
from #2.  It will occur in 1-3 pages.

Actual Results:  
Table contents overran table border.

Expected Results:  
Table should be sized vertically to contain contents.

This is no doubt a gecko bug.  It happens in Mozilla and Firefox 1.0.1.  The
particular table contents don't appear to matter.

I've seen similar behaviour with Adblock extension. Can you confirm this
behaviour with all of your extensions disabled?

I'm not a mozilla developer.  I submitted the bug against the releases stated 
in the bug description.  Sorry I can't be more help, but I've got my own bugs 
to fix.  Its Gecko/20050511 and I've never run adblock.

I see the minor overflow at the bottom, we need a reduced testcase here

Reporter, can you still see this on Firefox 6? I can't on XP and the page has probably changed since.
