57911 - Embed + tables = incorrect width

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

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

Description

[Len Trigg]

The above url does not wrap text correctly. I removed as much of the html as
possible while still demonstrating the problem. The main components of the html
are: nested tables, an embedded object, and the text (which does not wrap, but
disappears off the side of the window -- the browser scrollbar indicates an
extremely large page width, although nothing is displayed for the majority of
the extra width).

This page views as I would expect under Netscape 4.7 (i.e. the text wraps readably).

I'm not really an html guru, so can't give a better explanation than this (nor
make a better guess as to component assignment).

I will attach the abbreviated page.

Reporter: Since you did not report the build number of mozilla, can you install
a recent version of mozilla trunk and check to see if the problem still exists
under linux.

Looking under WIN build 2000102320 the provided test case renders correctly.

Sorry about that. I'm using a Linux trunk build - the problem still exists with
my build completed about an hour ago. The text of the page is displayed all as
one line, and gets truncated at the edge of the page. Resizing the browser
window causes the text to redisplay all nicely wrapped.

 I'm seeing this problem on a current CVS build on Linux; marking bug confirmed.

How can you just "resolve worksforme" when you aren't even using the platform
this was reported on?!?!

Reopening, because the problem is still present on Linux 2001012210.
