58815 - %-floater in table causes overlap [FLOAT]

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

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

Description

[Hixie (not reading bugmail)]

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
   1. Take a table.
   2. Put inside it two paragraphs.
   3. Float the first paragraph.
   4. Give the first paragraph a width in percent.
   5. Add just enough text in the first paragraph that it would fit across the
      table (or viewport if the table has no explicit size).
   6. Put more text in the second paragraph.
   7. Load the page.

ACTUAL RESULTS:
   The float's text overlaps the other test. Reflows fix the problem if at any
   point the float's text no longer fits on one line across the table.

Attachment: Simple and self explanatory testcase. Output should not overlap! (may require Windows fonts)

I haven't read this bug in detail yet, but it sounds related to bug 41306.  The
correct behavior in this type of case is hard.  I was hoping to figure out how
to define it for CSS3...

Since we do the case fine when the text would wrap if the float had width:100%,
I don't think this should be hard to fix. It's probably a |return| missing 
somewhere or something. ;-)

Another %width table bug testcase which causes overlap:
http://www.image.ece.ntua.gr/~sivann/table.html

If it shows up correctly, try reloading some times! It seems the page
displays correctly the first time.

Could this bug also be causing the story headlines overlapping the section icon
on <a href="http://www.kuro5hin.org/">www.kuro5hin.org</a>?  On Kuro5hin, the
&lt;tr&gt; had 3 cells: the first 1st is width="12", the 2nd is width="100%",
and the 3rd is width="80". Obviously it's a mess, but IE handles it OK...
obviously the correct behavior should be to size the 100% down to fit in the
row... I'm posting this comment here because it looks like the same bug... If it
isn't, someone go ahead and create a new bug... I only use Mozilla casually at
the moment (it hangs on the splash screen at work for whatever reason), and I
rarely use Bugzilla.

Could this be related to bug #52916?

Reopening.  If you look at the source of the testcase, large chunks of the text
within the testcase are completely undisplayed.

Setting back to worksforme.  Filed what I was seeing as bug 109087.
