i have a table inside a div. this table has cellpadding and is displayed
correctly. when i hide the div with javascript and then show it again, the
cellpadding disappears. i also reproduced this with the linux version
2000091312. i have read some similar bugs, i guess theres some issue with
re-creating cellpaddings in general.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. got to the test page i supplied (http://telnet.at/mozillabugs/2000092501.html)
2. click on the "show/hide" link twice.

Actual Results:  the table appears differently than it first loaded							

Expected Results:  the table should appear the same way as it did before being
hidden and shown again - with cellpadding

Confirming bug and attaching a simplified testcase (essentially the same as the 
original except I took out the div). Behavior is cross platform.

This is quite an important bug. The testcases show three examples of where this
occurs, all three serious in their own right. To top it off, I have seen this
effect on real world pages during simple mousing around. I would therefore
highly recommend this bug be considered a high-profile backwards compatability 
RTM blocker.

Pavlov: This is the bug that we saw on your page.

This may be a dup of 40828 which has a fix.
