33612 - table cell produces extraneous border pixels

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect, P3)

Description

[Sampo Syreeni]

Build: 2000032308

In the example, the wide, spanned cell at the bottom of the two row table has
some extra pixels in its left hand border. They seem reproducible regardless of
resolution. This smells like a fencepost error in the table rendering routines.

HTML:
    <table class="recordset">
        <col class="col1"/><col class="col2"/>
        <tr><th class="time">12Mar2000</th>
            <th><a href="items/00000100">Algerian forces advance</a> [<a
href="mirror/00000100">Mirrored</a>] [<a
href="reflect/00000100">Original</a>]</th></tr>
        <tr><td colspan="2" class="content">Explanation and introduction
here</td></tr>
    </table>

CSS:
table.recordset {border-collapse:collapse; width:100%;}
table.recordset th {text-align:left; font-variant:small-caps; border:1px outset
#405080; background-color:#405080;}
table.recordset th a {font-style:normal;}
table.recordset th.time {text-align:left; font-style:oblique;
font-variant:normal; border:1px outset #405090; background-color:#405090;}
table.recordset td {padding:1px;}
table.recordset td.content {border:1px outset #405080;}
table.recordset col.col1 {width:10%;}
table.recordset col.col2 {width:90%;}

[e-mail] - this looks OK to me. Are you still seeing this problem with 
recent builds of Mozilla?

The page referenced in the URL currentally will not render.

Refer to 18941, 19956, 29125, 34520 and 38228.

The <xml> declaration prevents rendering, and the strict doctype causes some
table layout problems.

I'd suggest marking this as a duplicate.

setting as new.  feel free to dupe it.  none of those bugs look like an exact 
duplicate to me.

This bug has been marked "future" because the original netscape engineer working 
on this is over-burdened. If you feel this is an error, that you or another 
known resource will be working on this bug, or if it blocks your work in some 
way -- please attach your concern to the bug for reconsideration.

Is this bug caused by border-collapse? If yes it is dependant on bug 41262.

Comment 8

[Sampo Syreeni]

After really delving into the CSS2 spec, and the bugs surrounding the collapsed 
border model, I now feel the best way to deal with this one is to INVALIDATE 
and RESOLVE it. I think what I've reported is some combination of early border-
collapse bugs and my previous ignorance of border conflict resolution. I will 
revitalize this one if the problem persists after the rewrite of the collapsed 
borders code.

Comment 9

[Sampo Syreeni]

Went over the output with a microscope - the extraneous pixels were a cell 
border, rendered precisely as they should be. The coloring, and Mozilla's 
choice of a rendering different from IE's for border-style:outset, confused me. 
Marking invalid, with a sorry to those bothered.

 This is a border collapse bug.. From the above comments this is invalid and we 
no longer support win95
