31849 - [FLOAT] HTML table overlaps main body in narrow main page window

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Layout, defect, P1)

Description

[blee]

To see this, click on the URL above and examine content display on main page.

==> Nav bar (table on the left) content is pushed into the main page area,
overlapping the content there. Closing Sidebar makes the problem go away in
Windows, but not in Mac or Linux.

blds tested: Win 03-13-14-M15, Mac 03-13-08-M15, Linux 03-13-03-M15

I can't reproduce this bug, and think it may have gotten fixed by other changes 
in the parsing engine. Petersen, can you repro this?

Comment 2

[Jim Bray]

I've been seeing this bug for a while, and still am. Just built from cvs

(3/20/00), so it is not fixed.

Comment 3

[Jim Bray]

 This bug and 30336 are probably identical.

I can reproduce this problem on all platforms. Test with Mac (2000032800), Win 98 

(2000032719), Linux (2000032719). As described, this problem occurs when the side 

bar is opened when rendering this page.After closing sidebar, the layout is 

correct.

Changing back to rickg.

Doesn't appear to be a sidebar problem. Try minimizing sidebar, then varying the
width of viewer window while viewing. Layout engine can't deal with cnnfn.com
when window is narrow. Instead of making horizontal scrollbar, it overlaps
table elements. Layers not involved; no layer tags in source. I'll attach.
Tested with build from cvs made 3/29/00.

I should mention the error message below, which should indicate a place to

start looking:



Warning - table cell content max element height 285 greater than desired height 270

Problem happens in narrow window. Closing Sidebar helped only because it widened
the window. Editing Summary to describe the problem more accurately.

Buster -- one for you.

[Jim Bray]

 Note that there is surplus whitespace on the right, about the width of the
overlap. Note also that if one adjusts the side-bar at all, the layout engine
correctly redisplays the page.

I think I already have a fix for this.  Testing...

Comment 15

[buster]

Excellent bug report, and test case, thanks!
This is fixed by virtue of the fix for 18827.  Won't mark it duplicate because
it is a somewhat different test case.  But will mark it fixed when I check in
the code, hopefully tomorrow.

I just built and tried. The initial page of cnnfn.com displayed correctly;

thanks, Buster! However, the page referred to in the chatter below:

ID: http://cnnfn.com/2000/04/11/economy/imf_preview/

had the same old problem. I'd test more, but mozilla is up to its ill-tempered

trick of burning 100% CPU and not responding to events very well... better stop

typing and see if I can post this...

fix checked in.  should be able to verify against 4/17/00 build.

Comment 18

[buster]

[e-mail]: I don't see any problem with the page you mention.  If you see any 
problems on this or other pages, please submit a separate bug.  Thanks for your 
help.

Hi Buster, I confirm a complete fix on this. The last place I had trouble,
http://cnnfn.com/2000/04/11/economy/imf_preview/
is now displaying correctly. BTW, DC was great! see

SPAM. HTML Element component is deprecated, changing to Layout component. See
bug 88132 for details.
