306756 - mysterious border shows up when using display:block on <a> inside a table

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: GFX, defect)

Description

[Aaron Slunt]

I found that border-right is drawn in a <td> when an <a> tag, being displayed as
a block-level element, is hovered with rules set on it through CSS. Also, the
table seems to need to be <=95% in width with margin:auto; and
border-collapse:collapse.

The testcase will explain it much better than I can :)

Again, better explained looking at the source than I can give verbally :P

This is similar to bug 269840 from what I can tell.

I'm not seeing this on trunk gtk2 seamonkey. Which product and version are you
using?

This test is independent from screen width.

Someone with permission should set

This is now a WFM Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008062219 (Gentoo) Firefox/3.0

Comment 8

testcase 2, table 5 and 6 show the bug, other cases don't.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0

Looks like an improvement at least.


(Bug 296361 dosen't work, comment 5 seems wrong, sorry)

Comment 9

[Aaron Slunt]

I'm still not seeing it...

I noticed your build date is on 5/29. Could you perhaps update to a later build and see if it still exists?

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1a1pre) Gecko/2008070504 Minefield/3.1a1pre

has the same result on winXP.

Works in 1.9.1 (not in 1.9.1/Firefox3.5)
Maybe fixed by bug 155955 ?
