Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 244135

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1

Suppose a table's style is set using border-collapse: collapse and border: 1px #AAA solid (or any other color, but must be 1px solid). Rowspans and colspans should probably be included as well. This table should be really large (8 columns x 50 rows is sufficient). 90% of the time, Firefox will render it fine (e.g., all the gridlines appear), but 10% of the time the gridlines are sometimes scrambled. I have a test case at:

Although the bug is more likely to appear if the table were posted at MediaWiki, here's an image of what to expect (after several refreshes; MediaWiki is 99% likely to cause it at the preview stage):

If you wish to paste it on a MediaWiki wiki, be sure to preserve the styles such as the one above to try and replicate the problem.

Internet Explorer does not have this problem.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a table with border-collapse: collapse and border: 1px #AAA solid. Rowspans and colspans are optional. Have this table be very large (lots of text + lots of cells)
2. Test pasting the page on MediaWiki or on your own local directory. MediaWiki is more likely to cause it than the local directory.
Actual Results:  
Details explains problem.

Expected Results:  
Render the table the same way Internet Explorer does.
