76421 - Tables do not display if parent has width: 0px (should show overflow)

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Layout, defect, P1)

Description

[Johnny Stenback (:jst)]

Load the above url and click on the links on the page, go back to the original
page and click on other links...

Quite often the pages appear to load but they're completely blank, the times
they come up as blank pages they are (or at least should be) loaded from the cache.

This is with a trunk build from yesterday, btw.

Comment 2

[Asko Tontti]

Seeing this with PC Linux 2001041708.

But I don't have to go back to get blank pages. I got blank for pages
that I haven't seen yet so they came from network - not from cache.

I've also seen this on http://www.bluesnews.com.  Doing a reload will almost
always get the content to show correctly, though.  Viewing Page Info, it shows
the last modified date as "unknown," and I'm wondering if that has anything to
do with it.

[Gagan]

lets continue to investigate till we can get a reproducible case that we can
track down.

per mtg with gagan, set to 0.9.2 target milestone while we work to find a set of
steps.   

Note: not sure if related to http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71740
where I am able to consistently have blank pages appear on certain URLs (while
other people experience crashes).

This is a dupe of bug 75952 - though this bug is confirmed while 75952 is not. 
neetie, feel free to dupe whichever one you wish to.

Note evangelism bug 79760 on oasis-open.org. I see this now even on pages
without that bug (unclosed script). Maybe that corrupts the cache (the pages
use a shared script file).

[Andreas M. "Clarence" Schneider]

Actually, with 2001-05-12-08, Win NT, http://www.oasis-open.org/ is blank for me
every time I try. Even creating a new profile does not help. Seems to have
regressed further.

Comment 9

[Andreas M. "Clarence" Schneider]

Bug 75952 does not seem to be a dupe (works for me).

Comment 10

[Andreas M. "Clarence" Schneider]

Note the stylesheet at http://www.oasis-open.org/oasis.css :

body
{background-image: url(http://www.oasis-open.org/images/background_tile.gif);
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10pt;
height: 0px;
left: 0px;
margin: 0px;
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
width: 0px}

Content of the page is wrapped in a table. Setting "body { width: 0 }" *should*
break pages, but why is no overflow visible like it is in
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/xmltest/testsuite.htm (see bug 81262; no
table).

updated keywords

Comment 13

[David Einstein]

I do not know if this helps, but the pages print comprehensibly (modulo
known printing bugs).

[karnaze (gone)]

I haven't been able to get blank pages on the urls. I see the problem in the 
test case. Moving to m0.9.3.

Comment 16

[Andreas M. "Clarence" Schneider]

The site has been re-designed and does not use the stylesheet with
"body {width:0}" anymore. Thus I'm morphing this bug to reflect the underlying
problem (see testcase).
