There seems to be a problem with rendering of vertical lines of a large table that is contained in a HTML file when viewed using Firefox 2.0.0.11. There is a link to this HTML file in one of our internal web-apps that we are developing for our clients. The issue seems to be because of the rendering of the vertical lines as the HTML is being loaded once the link is clicked. So initially the vertical lines appear but as the more rows of the table get loaded the vertical lines disappear. When I download the HTML to my desktop and then view it, it looks fine.

Update 8-Feb-08: Downloading to desktop and opening the HTML also doesn't help. I have attached an example HTML to illustrate issue. This works fine in IE.

This is indeed a bug visible in Firefox 2. However, it's not visible in Firefox 3.
It's most likely due the changes under the hood which also makes it impossible to fix in Fx2.
