291104 - CSS border-collapse bug with DOCTYPE set to XHTML 1.0 Transitional

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 155955

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[Egil Helland]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

See the code example accompanying this report.
When the border-collapse CSS parameter is set to collapse as above, the 1 pixel
border to the left is rendered outsite the actual page. If the CSS parameter is
removed (and thus changes the rendering behaviour), or if the DOCTYPE header is
removed (not a valid XHTML Transitional document anymore), the border renders
correctly inside the actual page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Save the code in a separate file
2. Run it in Firefox (tested on both Mac and Windows with version 1.0.2 and 1.0.3)
3. Remove DOCTYPE header, save file and retest

Actual Results:  
Renders incorrect on first run, correctly on second run

Expected Results:  
Render the border inside the page/screen area

This code renders correctly in Safari and Internet Explorer 5.5/6
