"Text-align" takes no effect (on td which has the "text-align" css property) when a suit of table(display:inline),tr,td(text-align:center) elements nested in another suit of table,tr,td elements until any elements' appearence changed or "href='#'" be clicked or firebug(extension) enter the "inspect" mode.

Now i found a hack to fix the problem via css. is to add "display:block" on the td element which has the "text-align" css property.

Reproducible: Always

Attachment: testcase, which can be viewed online

This is basically "a page to demonstrate the bug in all situations and a fix method", but this one you can view online, because the img's work now.

The testcase is wfm, with:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060802 SeaMonkey/1.5a

I think this is already fixed somehow on trunk.

I can see the bug on the 1.8 branch, though.

As a branch bug, this is wontfix, imo.  No way do we want to be messing with obscure parts of table layout on the branch.
