44217 - cell height miscalculated for long cells

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 89315

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect, P3)

Description

[Luke McCarthy]

When a table that contains a large amount of text is rendered, the background
colour spills past the end of the table.  It is possible that this only happens
when the text in the table is contained within <pre></pre> tags, as when those
tags were removed from the example, the table was drawn correctly (see http:
//qlink.queensu.ca/~7elm/mo-bugs/tables-2.html ).  However, this may only be
because the number of lines of text is drastically reduced by the removal of the
<pre></pre> tags, as a third example with the <pre></pre> left in, but the
amount of text reduced, is also drawn correctly (http:
//qlink.queensu.ca/~7elm/mo-bugs/tables-small.html ).

[e-mail] could you come back with a build ID. Second could you
please create a testcase, without references to the PNG images. I tried now for
the 5th time to view the testcase, all time the connection timed out (I am on
ADSL connection so I would blame your server) The best way would be to attach a
single html file as testcase (that's also the usual way to do it.)

Attachment: testcase without a table tag

Attachment: table showing the problem

Comment 4

[Bernd Mielke]

The height of the cell is miscalculated so the border leaves some white space 
below the cell. This testcase renders fine with Nav4.6 and  shows the same 
error with IE4. Changing summary. Confirming bug.

I'm marking this future. If someone feels this is important (and can find a real 
web page demonstrating the problem) please change the milestone.

Likely a dup of bug 89315.
