61042 - Using cols="x" and colspan="y" in a table messes up wrapping

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

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

Description

[Tomas Ögren]

Using the (deprecated/nonexisting) netscape4-tag cols="x" on a table along with
colspan="y" can make the wrapping routines freak out and draw outside the tables.

The urls above show testcases with DTD:s for quirks and standards rendering,
they give different visual output when the bug is triggered.

Resize the window so the first cell in the first line (inner table) becomes wide
enough not to wrap (+1 pixel) and the table will blow out displaying outside all
tables. It will burst out to the left, keeping wrapping in the bottom cell when
in quirks mode and burst out to the right, without wrapping the bottom cell (and
no scrollbar to see the entire content) when in standards mode.

Should it care about cols="x" at all when in standards rendering mode?

Asa (on irc) was able to reproduce on mac/win32 mozilla trunk builds 11/22. I
was also able to reproduce it in N6, so it's not new.
