you have a table with some <col> tag, if you want to add nowrap the a col, this is ignored

<table width=10>
<col style="white-space:nowrap">
<tr>
<td>test test test test test test test test </td>
</tr>
</table>

Reproducible: Always

Can you attach a testcase using the "Create a New Attachment" link.

> <table width=10>
> <col style="white-space:nowrap">
> <tr>
> <td>test test test test test test test test </td>

Your table is over-constrained. You're demanding a 10 pixels wide table and, at the same time, to render a much wider column based on non-wrapped content.

Comment 2

[Fabrizio Balliano]

you're right I did a wrong example but the bug remains:

<table width="200" border="1">
<col style="background:red;white-space:nowrap;" />
<tr>
<td>ah ah ah ah ah ah ah</td>
<td>hu hu hu hu hu hu hu</td>
</tr>
</table>

background of the first column is red, but white space is not implemented
