297429 - Page loses a td width or CSS width attribute after many refreshes

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

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

In the link attached to this bug the page should have some white space on both
sides of the main text. However, sometimes when you load it, the text is
touching the left-hand menu bar and the right-hand edge of the screen. To see
this, start refreshing a lot. It validates with W3's CSS and XHTML 1.1
validator, so it's not a problem with my hypertext. As near as I can figure,
it's not loading the CSS width attribute of (XPATH
/html/body/table/tbody/tr/td[2]/table) that is inside the 'style' tag attribute.
This just happens occasionally. I tested it in IE, but I didn't see the same
effect after 50+ refreshes.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://68.103.43.67:8570/tutorial/index.php?tutorial=1
2. The tutorial is in an 80% centered table inside of a <td>. There should be
some space between the edges of the tutorial text and the edges of the <td>
3. Keep refreshing the page and more than likely you'll see it within the first
15-20 refreshes. The text will touch the edges of its containing <td>, making it
much wider than it should be. When you refresh again, it will return to normal.

Actual Results:  
The text widens and touches the edges of it's containing <td>

Expected Results:  
Firefox should have read the attributes in the hypertext correctly. I assume
that's the problem.

I made a mistake. The CSS width attribute isn't on a <td> it's on a <table> like
so: <table style="width:80%">

And it didn't distort at all?

Please don't file layout bugs with 1.0.4 since it uses gecko 1.7 which is over
one year old layout engine. 

Please reopen if  you can reproduce this with a (can be unstable) trunk build
