293870 - css border-collapse moves table up/left 1px, stops top/left border render & can create scrollbars in a div for no reason

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 155955

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[Sean Hebden]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

When using a table with border-collapse, the table is shifted up and left one
pixel and the top/left border is no longer displayed. If the table is
constrained within a fixed size div with overflow set to auto. When the table is
smaller than the div everything renders fine until you add border-collapse to
the table, it then adds scroll bars for no apparent reason. Depending on the
table size you may get a vertical or horizontal scrollbar or both. See url
example. Either way they should not be there, I think it is because the table
has shifted 1 pixel up and left.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.View the source of the url I have linked. 
2.Create a table, note its location
3.apply the style border-collapse:collapse
4.see the table move left & up 1 px.
5.do the same but restrain it in a div (see link before & after.

Actual Results:  
The table shifts to the left and up. When restrained within a div scrollbars appear.

Expected Results:  
The table should stay where it is, no scrollbars should appear.
