48654 - Doesn't display BGCOLOR in blank cells

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 41959

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

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; m16) Gecko/20000613
BuildID:    2000061311

Mozilla does not support diplaying the BGCOLOR of individual cells when there is
nothing in the cells.
I'm not sure if this is a WC3 specification, but it would seem more natural to
have the browser display the BGCOLOR of a cell not matter what's in it
(including if there's nothing in it).
Many peope set BGCOLOR for layout design purposes with no intent of putting
anything in the cells.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a table with a few cells
2.  Set the BGCOLOR on one of cells, but put nothing in the cells


Actual Results:  The color will not appear in Mozilla

Expected Results:  Mozilla should diplay the color in the cell no matter if
there is anything in the cell or not.
