Regression from Firefox 2.

The attached HTML code displays correctly in Firefox 2.0.0.14 but incorrectly in 3.0.0.1.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See attached HTML.
Actual Results:  
The second red box stretches to accommodate the width of the <pre> element, making it wider than allowed.

Expected Results:  
The two red boxes should be the same width, and the <pre> element should have a horizontal scrollbar.

Apologies. This HTML file displays correctly in Firefox 2 but incorrectly in Firefox 3.

The previously attached file also displays the bug, but in BOTH Firefox 2 and 3.

Not a bug, that is how tables with table-layout:auto behave. See bug 409736 for all the details.
