regressed:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050524 Firefox/1.0+

working:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; de-DE; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

Opera and Firefox 1.7.8 are working fine, Mozilla Trunk presents a wide
horizontal scrollbar. I will upload a minimal testcase.

Priority major, as the article from the URL: is unreadable.

Attachment: Same testcase, but now in quirks mode

In quirks mode, the testcase still works.

Comment 3

[Bernd]

the page is standards mode  see
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/tables.html#h-11.2.6

nowrap [CI]
    Deprecated. When present, this boolean attribute tells visual user agents to
disable automatic text wrapping for this cell. Style sheets should be used
instead of this attribute to achieve wrapping effects. Note. if used carelessly,
this attribute may result in excessively wide cells.

If anyone still wants to know:
Ok, this worked in 2005-03-06 build, but fails in 2005-03-07 build:
Most likely this behavior changed because of the fix for bug 277232.

So is this then a layout bug and not tech evang?

replacing URL by testcase as page is fixed:
http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,1564,1593024,00.html

I don't close the bug as this regression is still seen on the testcase

I can't tell for sure, but it looks like the test case might be working with 3.5b4.

Seems like this bug either has the wrong status or the wrong product/component.

If its a layout bug still it won't get fixed with tech evang markings.

Martin's testcase is working, as it was working before, in Quirks Mode.
My testcase from URL: still doesn't work

Testcase attachment 184575 [details] doesn't work using:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1pre) Gecko/20090602 SeaMonkey/2.0b1pre

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2a1pre) Gecko/20090602 Minefield/3.6a1pre

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=184575


I'm seeing the original regression, one very long line not broken in some shorter lines having the specified length.

> Seems like this bug either has the wrong status or the wrong product/component.

I won't change the status as I still see the regression. 

> If its a layout bug still it won't get fixed with tech evang markings.

Bernd doesn't see it as layout bug, I don't know if it's a bug, but I know it for sure it is a regression. 

Feel free to change the component or close the bug, I've done for this bug what I could do.

INCOMPLETE due to lack of activity since the end of 2009.

If someone is willing to investigate the issues raised in this bug to determine whether they still exist, *and* work with the site in question to fix any existing issues, please feel free to re-open and assign to yourself.

Sorry for the bugspam; filter on "NO MORE PRE-2010 TE BUGS" to remove.
