48650 - Tables with small widths and input fields overlap elements

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 48057

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

Description

[Randell Jesup [:jesup] (needinfo me)]

A table with width="1" and cells with input fields will cause overlaps of
elements.  This can make the form unusable.  Originally found on CNN due to a
typo.

Confirming the bug win WinNT 2000081504. Mozilla should handle this like IE5.

Updated the example to put the <form> back in.  Without the <form>, NS4.7
doesn't show the input fields at all.  With <form>, it shows them correctly. 
Current build of Mozilla (20000821) overlaps them badly.  Note: this also shows
up on CNN's homepage (which was where I found the bug)!!!!

I should note that this bug is in-your-face on http://cnn.com

FreeBSD 4.1 20001025xx trunk

This problem is still there.  Can be pretty problematical when the elements of a
table overlap and one is an input field...  Since this can make a page unusable
raising to major and nominating for ns6.01

CNN changed their content and it doesn't happen on their homepage anymore - at
least for today.
