62280 - Cells with a class= tag containing only   don't show background.

Status: CLOSED WORKSFORME

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

Description

[Jason McCormick]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-22 i586; en-US; m18) Gecko/20001206
BuildID:    2000120608

I have table cells that are defined as such:

<td wdith="100" class="colorclass">&nbsp;</td>

Colorclass sets the background color to various colors.  It works correctly when
I enter text or a graphic as the contents of the column.  However if the only
contents of the column is an &nbsp; the background becomes the same as the
page's and not the colors that were assigned by the style sheet.  I spoke with
some people on #mozillazine and a person with 2000-12-06-08 could see the same
problem but a user with 2000-12-05-08 saw the page correctly.  I tried with M18
and got the same problem.  I would suggest this is some regression problem.
Netscape 6 seems to show it correctly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.View http://ussdenmark.tranzor.net.  At the top, there should be a horizontal
red bar the entire way acrosss.
2.What I see can be found at http://mail.packetwarriors.net:3000/moz-shot1.png.
3.Also, http://bfsearch.tranzor.net has the same CSS with red backgrounds and
the left side of the red border is not there for me.	

Actual Results:  As described aboved.

I don't know what else you would wnat.  You can e-mail me at
[e-mail] if I haven't been clear.

Adding regression keyword.  OS -> All since it apparently occurs on NT too.

I am seeing this too:
Platform: PC
OS: Windows 98
Mozilla Build: 2000120604 M18 Trunk Build

Marking as NEW.

Note that the testcases from bug 41959 are shown correctly in 2000-12-07-08.  so
this is not just a recurrence of that bug....  Over to HTML tables and
reassigning to owner of bug 41959.

Could not reproduce the problem, it works fine on my NT. (I just
update my source tree today.) If you still see the problem, reopen
the bug and I will take a look. Please attach the testcase and marked
screen snap, in case we might have different interpretation of the 
right behavior. (I also tried it on IE, but could not see any difference.)

Comment 6

Attachment: very minimal testcase

Comment 7

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

The attached file shows a definite problem for me with Linux.  Attaching
screenshots of Netscape and Mozilla renderings.

Comment 8

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Attachment: Screenshot of correct (Netscape) and incorrect (Mozilla) rendering

Comment 9

[Shanjian Li]

It works fine on both my NT and Linux. Both source tree are updated today.
Please try the latest build.

Comment 12

[Shanjian Li]

I tried on several machines, but could not reproduce the problem. I just 
did it one more time on my winnt, I download build 2001022209, and everything
works fine. 

If you still experience the problem, could you look a little further and 
probably try someone else's env. 

Comment 13

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Both the testcase and the original page now work for me too, with build
2001-02-22-13 on Linux.

Jason, could you please test it too and verify if it works for you?

Comment 14
