Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 311623

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

See the example page for demonstration. There is a table that has been put 
together based on a stylesheet, and when a link is clicked, the table layout 
changes. The best example is to click on "items" the link isn't even followed 
and the table shrinks. When you click on a left-hand subheading the link is 
followed, but right before the page changes, you can see that the tables expand.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Load page
2.Click items
3.Click somewhere in the white space

Actual Results:  
On the item click, the table seems to collapse. Then a whitespace click causes 
the tables to collapse further.

Expected Results:  
Even if the CSS is fishy or written wierd, I would expect a consistant render 
of whatever the stylesheet says. I don't know why there would be dynamic layout 
changes on a page that seems to be configured to be static.

as described by reporting user, appallingly written code, probably due to this that the problem occurs
