330194 - anonymous table cell seems to have non-zero width

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1

As demonstrated in the Acid2 test (of which the above is a reduced test case) there seems to be a problem when anything other than "display: table-cell;" is used inside another tag with "display: table;". In those cases the correct behaviour is to create an anonymous table cell to contain all the non-"display: table-cell;" sibling objects. I can only assume that Firefox's anonymous table cell has non-zero total height, causing the resizing of the box in the testcase. (Replacing the "display: table;" with "display: table-cell;" as in http://ketsuban.net/acid2_good.html results in correct behaviour. Can anyone confirm that an anonymous table cell has zero width in Gecko's rendering logic and/or fix?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. View the linked testcase.
Actual Results:  
Two blocks of red - one in box (2,1), one in box (4,2). Remainder of blocks are black.

Expected Results:  
No blocks of red - a four-block black line.

Works for me in current trunk build. Please test with current nightly trunk build.

Could you provide a screenshot of the "bad" testcase? I haven't the resources to test a nightly.

Good enough for me. Thanks, I'll mark this as WORKSFORME.
