35478 - Table doesn't align in available space if right-aligned table is in the way

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 478834

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

Description

[Jan Becvar]

Page from URL: http://pes.eunet.cz is incorrectly rendered
Fonts are overlapping table borders in bottom of the page.
Netscape 4.XX works correctly here

The overlapping text is in a table which is align=center with border=0.  The
table is centerd relative to the page, not relative to the available space (the
table on the right comes before the overlapping table, and is align=right).

So (1) the table or the document should be resized to fit in the available
space, and (2) it should be centered in the available space (it is, if border=1;
it isn't if border=0).

Changing to NEW, reassign to karnaze. Attaching testcase.

Attachment: testcase

Attachment: an example of align="center"

Comment 4

Is the example attached above the same bug?

Comment 5

[Marko Macek]

Bugzilla "bug page" has a part with <TD ALIGN=RIGHT">Opened...</td> which has
similiar problems (it jumps around as page is horizontally resized). It looks
like problem with incremental reflow.

Is this the same or separate bug?

Attachment: another test case - in nested tables

These bugs all deal with the ugly issue of how tables should flow around floats.
 The last testcase also shows a separate bug (I think) - that floating elements
don't always expand their table cell parents (this is actually wrong according
to the CSS spec, but really the spec is wrong...)

[karnaze (gone)]

The 1st attachment looks like a block floater problem (but IE and Nav don't 
render it very well either). The 2nd looks ok except that the nested table does 
not have a transparent background in quirks mode (I will file a separte bug). 
The 3rd attachment looks ok. Reassigning to Buster's list and marking m1.0.

in IE, opera and webkit the first table does overlap as in FF trunk. Its questionable that we should change hte behavior

The first testcase here was fixed by bug 478834; some remaining related problems should have been fixed a few days later by bug 538194.

The second testcase is no longer usable due to external SWF links.

I'm not sure what was supposedly wrong with the third testcase, although I should file a separate repainting bug for it.
