For example, if a <pre> element is inside a <div> element with a background colour and display: table and the text inside the <pre> element contains tab characters, then the text overruns the background colour. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Minimal demonstration: <html> <body> <div style="background-color: red; display: table;"> <pre> ABCD EFGH <!-- ABCD and EFGH are separated by a tab character --> </pre> </div> </body> </html> Actual Results: The letter H appears outside the red area. Expected Results: Every letter should appear inside the red area.
