311636 - select element in table cell expands indefinitely when used, when CSS height is set to 100% but table row height is not set.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Dean Trower]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; InfoPath.1)
Build Identifier: Firefox 1.0.7

If you have a <SELECT> inside a table cell, and the <SELECT> has CSS style 
width:100%;height:100%, but the table row has no set height, then certain user 
or script manipulations of the SELECT (e.g. selecting a new option; 
toggling 'disabled' status) will cause the <SELECT> and the table cell 
containing it to grow horizontally (by the width of the drop-down arrow, I 
think).  This occurs indefinitely (unbounded growth).

*** It happens even if the table cell has a constrained width!!! ***

Note that this is very similar to bug #70998, but has not been fixed!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the test case (attached)
2. Try selecting a different option in the drop-down
3. Try clicking the button a few times

Actual Results:  
The combo-box expands horizontally with each action

Expected Results:  
no expansion, duh!

Please test with the Firefox1.5b2 or the nightly trunk build and test if you can
still see the bug.

I'm just a regular user, not a developer, reporting a bug in the production 
version.  If the bug is fixed in the latest beta version, then great!

Ok, marking WFM then. Dean, reporting bugs with that version1.0.7 has become
nearly useless, since a lot of bugs have been fixed since then (and other bugs
have appeared).
