While the text is correctly placed in the expected screen area the line is
misplaced and larger. It seems computed against the full window instead of the
currently available area

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.open the url or the provided html


Actual Results:  the small line is properly placed in the table area (black text)
the long line is misplaced

Expected Results:  the long line should be just on top of the green text	

<html>
<BODY BGCOLOR="White">
<TABLE ALIGN="Left" WIDTH="20%"><TR>
<TD VALIGN="Top">
text text text text text text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text text text text text text
<hr width=75%>
text text text text text text text text text text text text text

</TD>
</TR></TABLE>


<font color="005000" size="-1" face="Arial">

<br><br><hr width=75%> text text text text text text text text text text text

This bug does exist, however I'm not 100% certain that it's not an error related
to the somewhat relaxed html support in other browsers (I tested it also in
4.7).  Leaving unconfirmed for this reason.  This was tested with nightly build
2000070408.
IMHO the correct behaviour should be 
"draw the line within the current text margins "
Netscape 4.7, IE5 and Opera 4 are following this criterion
It is deferrable but it should not be left unconfirmed
over to HTML Element

Pierre, can you please triage.

The problem is that the ALIGN=LEFT on the table is making it float, so the area 
that the width is computed against is the entire width of the screen.

This is a dup of bug 22563.
