386661 - Pct width makes cell too small in table with overridden 1px width

Status: NEW

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert]]

Attachment: testcase

Tested with this Firefox version:
 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20061201 Firefox/2.0.0.4 (Ubuntu-feisty)

This bug was discovered using the "new testcase" in Bug 368504.

Situation:
----------
 - Table has width=1px
 - First row has 2 cells, one with width=100% and one with auto-width.
 - Second row has colspanning cell with LongStringOfUnbrokenText, which makes table much wider than 1px.
 - View in Firefox 2.0.0.4

Expected results:
-----------------
 Option 1: In first row, the cell with width=100% should get all of the excess space. (This is IE/Opera behavior)
   OR
 Option 2: In first row, the cells should split the excess space evenly or according to their preferred widths.  (This is Konqueror/Safari/trunk behavior)

Observed Results:
-----------------
In first row, the auto-width cell gets all the excess space, with the 100%-wide cell getting no extra space.

Note: The value 100% is not special -- this happens for any percent width over 4%.

Note 2: This bug is also in Firefox 1.5. (but maybe that's not as big of an issue since it's a minor-ish bug and FF 1.5 is old)
