Attached file testcase (obsolete) —
When a Marquee's container (e.g. table, div, or full page etc) is resized, the marquee remains the same width. STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 0. Start with a not-very-wide Firefox window. 1. Load testcase. 2. Resize browser to be wider. OBSERVED BEHAVIOR: Marquee only goes partway across its container (traversing its original width) before resetting itself. EXPECTED BEHAVIOR: Marquee should go all the way across its container, even if the window is resized. Opera and Konqueror both show this expected behavior.

This test case auto-resizes itself using javascript, so you don't need to resize the browser window to see the buggy behavior.

Summary: Marqees don't resize with container → Marquees don't resize with container
I have some patches in bug 235564 that would fix this, I think. (except that those patches are not ideal)

When a Marquee's container (e.g. table, div, or full page etc) is resized,
the marquee remains the same width.

Resizing the <marquee> element itself doesn't work either.

Attachted testcase works in Chrome, Safari, IE

I believe <marquee> has been reimplemented using something other than XBL, in the past few months, so there's a chance testcase 3 could be a recently-introduced regression from that reimplementation. (I'm writing this comment from a phone and don't have a computer handy, so I can't test old nightlies at the moment - but it'd be worth it for someone to try testcase 3 in a nightly from a year ago or so., to see if it's a recent regression.)

I believe the recent reimplement of <marquee> doesn't introduce a regression. I test testcase 3 on Nightly 2018-06-31 and 2014-06-31, and it dosen't work on both.

The text "mozilla" stops bouncing and disappears after clicking the "30%" or "50%" width button. And on "70%", the text bounces in a smaller range instead of the full range of the yellow marquee element.

Summary: Marquees don't resize with container → Marquees don't resize with container (resizing <marquee> itself doesn't work either)
