77141 - <label> causes table's colspan being ignored for the label

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 47149

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Tobias Burnus]

This is with 0.8.1/Linux.
If I use
  <td colspan="2"><label><input>foo bar</label></td>
then the table cell is two columns width (according to the drawn border), but 
the label text "foo bar" uses only the space of the first column.

I've seen this on Win NT as well so marking All/All. It also occurs with the 
other style of label:
<td colspan="2"><input id="foo"><label for="foo">foo bar</label></td> 

It certainly is related to bug 47149 (which indicates that Labels should behave 
more like a SPAN than they currently are). Perhaps the table colspan breaking is 
a side effect of this lack of SPAN-like behavior, making this a duplicate?

In any case, adding appropriate keywords and proposing for 0.9.1. This blocks a 
web-based product I'm working on. It seems like a freequent use of labels is in 
table cells with colspan.

Reassigning to alexsavulov and moving to m0.9.3.

The cell's block which contains the label is giving conflicting info - it 
reports d=915 and m=1650. I can't tell if this is because of the label or not, 
but it may be contributing to the problem (the a=-30 is probably another bug). 

   Row 02B14A88 r=0 a=UC,UC c=UC,UC cnt=8
    Cell 02B14AD0 r=0 a=30,UC c=0,UC cnt=9
     Block 02B14B2C r=0 a=-30,UC c=0,UC cnt=10
creating frame=02B14EC8 createCount=53
     Block 02B14B2C d=855,825 me=855 m=1590
    Cell 02B14AD0 d=915,885 me=915 m=1650
   Row 02B14A88 d=UC,885

During the final reflow it looks like the label should fit because the block is 
wide enough, but it doesn't.

   Row 02B14A88 r=2 a=3705,UC c=3705,UC cnt=17
    Cell 02B14AD0 r=2 a=3645,UC c=3585,UC cnt=18
     Block 02B14B2C r=2 a=3585,UC c=3585,UC cnt=19
     Block 02B14B2C d=3585,825
    Cell 02B14AD0 d=3645,885
   Row 02B14A88 d=3705,885

Doesn't look like this is getting fixed before the freeze tonight.
Pushing out a milestone.  Please correct if I'm mistaken.

Fixed (in 2001091316 Win2k), most likely because of bug 47149 being fixed.
