Confirmed with latest trunk nightly build on Windows XP.
Regression window is http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsquery.cgi?module=PhoenixTinderbox&date=explicit&mindate=1203648480&maxdate=1203651179
so this is caused by bug 413286.

Here's a reduced testcase.

Comment 5

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert] (vacation until Jun 23)]

This rendering change is an expected and desired outcome of 413286.

Here's the situation:
 - Table has width of 640px
 - 1st col has specified width of 1px.
 - 2nd col has no specified width, and no content, so it's 0-width

Bug 413286's patch allows us to expand the second column in this situation.  So, we do let it expand, to honor the first column's specified width as best as we can.

If a web designer wants the content to not be wrapped, they should remove the 1px width-restriction from the first column.

Note also that the text will wrap, even in pre-413286 builds, if the testcase (or original page) is tweaked via...
   a) adding a table-border (rather than a CSS border)
   b) removing the zero cellpadding/cellspacing
because either of those changes will give the second column a small nonzero width.

for reference: another affected URL is http://www.spare-cent.de which is kind of a subsidiary of Sparda bank.

This looks kinda good now, I'll close it as WFM

I'm assuming comment 7 means the site has been redesigned since this was filed. If so, FIXED would be an appropriate resolution.

If there are any bugs that currently affect this site, please file *new* bugs about those issues.

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert] (vacation until Jun 23)]

Sorry for the resolution-field-spam :) but if we're unsure of what fixed the problem (and especially if we don't know whether it was a Mozilla fix or a site fix), then WORKSFORME is the appropriate resolution.

(It looks like comment 7 intended to select WORKSFORME, but accidentally chose WONTFIX)

Comment 10

[Daniel Holbert [:dholbert] (vacation until Jun 23)]

Ah, two more things:
 - From looking at the site and the posted testcase, this was indeed resolved due to a site change, not a Mozilla codebase change. (in which case WORKSFORME would be appropriate, if this were classified as a platform bug)
 - I just noticed that this bug is no longer a Platform bug, but instead is classified as Evangelism.  I'm not sure if Evang has different semantics for FIXED vs WORKSFORME... If they do, then sorry about my resolution-tweak, & feel free to correct it. :)

Comment 11

[Chris Lawson (gone)]

TE is focused on fixing bad *site* behaviour, which does indeed make it rather different from the rest of Bugzilla in that there aren't Mozilla code changes that need to happen in order for a bug to be FIXED here. Regardless, WONTFIX was definitely the wrong resolution, though I suspect Peter did that by accident ;)
