45670 - Viewer Demo #8 Form - Table in button is rendered incorrectly

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[kinmoz]

Using my 07/17/00 Win32 Mozilla debug build:

If you load the Viewer demo #8 in the browser via the menu "Debug -->
ViewerDemos --> #8 Form", you'll notice that there is a gray button at the top
of the page that says "This button contains a table and a background image. It
will also submit the form."

You'll also notice that the table inside the button is rendered incorectly until
you mouse over it.

By incorrect, I mean that you see the table border rendered too small, and you
see 2 of the cell borders drawing outside the table border, and you don't see
any of the text that should be in the cells.

Looking at the frame dump before and after, I think it's the TABLE which 
changes height.

Upon managerial request, adding the "testcase" keyword to 84 open layout bugs that
do not have the "testcase" keyword and yet have an attachement with the word
"test" in the description field. Apologies for any mistakes.

With recent table reflow optimizations the table portion is correctly rendered 
before mousing into it, but is then incorrect. The problem is that the button is 
reflowing the table unconstrained and then never reflowing it again with a real 
width. The table never gets a chance to balance its columns correctly. Rather 
than un-optimizing tables for the benefit of html 4 buttons, it is better if 
html buttons do a 2nd reflow of their children. When they do, they should also 
make an optimization where they don't do the 2nd reflow if they are 
being reflowed unconstrained. 

Reassigning to rods.

NOTICE: by "clicking" I mean "press mouse button over BUTTON and holding MB move
cursor out of the BUTTON".

[Viewer demos->#8 Form]
The table in the button changes after clicking it. Text is wrapped into two
lines, therefore size of the button also gets bigger (vertically).

[testcase]
Similar behaviour.

There is a button containing table - table looks strange before clicking (just
after loading this webpage), but after clicking - looks nice.
