59607 - left cellpadding disapears when using "table-layout: fixed; width: xxx;" on a table inside another table

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

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

Description

[Tobias H. Michaelsen]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows 98)
BuildID:    2000101014

I have created a "test-suite" because this strange problem appeared in 
Mozilla/NS6, but not in IE.
The cell padding on the left side disapears only when stylesheet-
properties "table-layout" is set to "fixed" and "width" is set to anything, for 
a table nested inside another table. Padding for top and buttom is ok, and i 
think right is also ok. (se http://www.phpsitebuilder.dk/test.table.news.html)


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.make html document
2.make table
3.in a cell, make another table (<table><tr><td><table...)
4.give the second table stylesheet properties: style="table-layout: fixed; 
width: 200px;"
4a.maybe also specify cellpadding="10" to make the result more clear
5.enter something in a cell in the second table

Actual Results:  the contents of the cell in the second table is situated at 
the left border of the cell

Expected Results:  the contents of the cell in the second table should be 
situated X pixels from the left border, where X is the cellpadding

Redirecting to html tables.

Looking at the testpage url this seems related if not a dup of bug 59278.

Reporter can you please 1) read if bug 59278 is the same bug, and/or 2) make a
new very simple test case that has one nested table that has padding of 30px's
instead of 3px's. 3px's seems kinda small to see the diff.

thanks

I don't think that it is related to bug 59278, since that doesn't appear in
'old' builds of mozilla.

But I have changed my test-page to only show three tables: the first one is not
nested and looks as it should (with table-layout:fixed and width:300px and
padding:30px -- so now it should be clear enough), the second is then nested and
here the problem is obvious only the left padding that is zero -- both with the
centered text in the th-cell and the left-aligned text in the td-cell. The last
table is the same as the second, but without specified width to show that the
problem does not occur here.

Tobias can you please download a recent build.

You will see that your problem does not exist. I will provide a screen shot
showing that there is not any problem with the left padding but the rendering
problem of overflowing content is covered under bug 59278.

Attachment: screenshot of build 1108 - left padding okay

Ok - the 'left-indent' bug was there up til M18, but it seems to have been 
replaced with the 'overflow' bug now :/

So, should the bug be marked as 'resolved' ?

viewed url in Mozilla Trunk 2000110804 on Win2k and the paddings all appeared
correct to me.

Resolving worksforme, since it seems to do so for everyone, including the reporter.

Tobias there is one topic to a bug.
Your bug was about incorrect left padding in a table cell.
This has been fixed in current builds.

The overflow bug is covered in 59278 and 58252.
If you want to provide a testcase for the cell overflowing please post under
those bugs. :-)
