56255 - Table data (<td>) overflows its containing box

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

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

Description

[John Hayward-Warburton]

Particular combinations of browser window size and text content cause some table
data (<td>) to overflow its container. See the rendering of page
http://hadrian.ods.org/public/ at this location:

Note particularly the reference to "Internet Movie Database" in the "SEARCH"
box, and the reference to "Association of British Drivers" in the "ODDS" box.

This is nightly build 2000101121 on Linux.

Confirming on Linux trunk build 2000103108.  By slowly shrinking the width of
the browser one can get those text lines to poke out of the container boxes.

-> HTMLTables

Btw, that is a heck of a warning at the top of the page in the URL...

Really over to HTMLTables.

I am seeing this on NT as well. OS -> All.

marking INVALID due to the fact the webpage doesnt exist anymore and we have 
many many overflow bugs already.

Sorry, the DNS dropped me. The page is now:

http://hadrian.org/public/    (with no "ods" in the middle).

The bug is resolved, by the way. Build 2001012221 doesn't make the text overflow
like the November/December nightly builds did.
