55917 - bad layout of image alt-text in table with (missing) floated images

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect, P5)

Description

[karnaze (gone)]

The table regression test, bug26553.html, looks bad. When I remove the 
align=right on the <img> it looks ok. This is a recent regression.

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

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.

I don't understand this bug report's description. Can someone please explain
what the problem is? Thanks.

It is a poorly submitted bug. The test case is from table regression test 
bug26553 (mozilla/layout/html/tests/table) and the images are missing. 

Reassigning to attinasi.

Attachment: Same testcase but with valid images

Comment 8

[Marc Attinasi]

I added another testcase with valid images, otherwise the same as the original
testcase. I see no problems, so it is either FIXED or was INVALID from the
start. Note that the middle cell width is overspecified, and even given that,
the table is formatted correctly. Sanity checks welcome - marking INVALID -
reopen if I am missong something please.

Well, bug #71974 has been marked as a DUP of this one, but certainly is still
not fixed. So, I am going to reopen it.

Comment 10

[Marc Attinasi]

Yup - bug 71974 is certainly a problem - I'm working on reducing that testcase now.

Comment 11

[Mats Palmgren (inactive)]

Hmm, should "foo" and "bar" really be on separate lines (1st testcase)? In the
2nd testcase they are on the same line... (and while loading 1st testcase you
can briefly see that it first places the images on the same line before it
decides to give up on those URLs).

Comment 12

[Marc Attinasi]

I think you are right Mats - the foo and bar alt-text for the images should be
on the same line. I'll reopen to investigate some more. Updating summary to
reflect the problem more specifically.

wait a minute. looking at the code of the testcase, it seems that we are doing 
the right thing. The table is set to width=100% -- which is fine, however, the 
middle column is set to <td width="100%" ...> which would force the left and 
right columns to be as small as possible. Since the alt text is from two 
different images, it i=would be logical to get a return causing the second alt 
text to go to the next line. Of course the empty anchor tag around the two 
images does not help in the spacing either.

There are differences between IE and moz:
1. IE seems to ignore the 2nd column width of 100%
2. IE honors the specified width of the image, so the alt text is displayed 
within the specified width and height
3. IE seems to adjust the width of the columns to fit the data, even though the 
2nd column was set to 100

4.x seems to render similar to IE

This seems to be such a minor difference, I don't see why this is a P2, this 
should be downgraded to P5/trivial
