Yusuf, my guess is you are overriding the font size that page has with your own.
Have a look in Preferences under Appearance -> Fonts.
See if you have "Always use my font settings, overriding web page font" ticked.
If you untick that, the page should layout just fine.

increasing textsize (view->textsize) defenetly causes the descibed behaviour. So
this is probobly just some table-html that dosn't scale nicly, which would make
this bug an worksforme.

However, if you first decrease the textsite (to say 50%) and then restors it to
100% causes the described behaviour _at_correct_textsize_. Which defenetly is a
bug. Should we use this bug for this bug for that or should I file another bug?

Worksforme with 052904 mozilla win32 build on win2K and win98, 052908 mozilla
linux build on RedHat 6.2 and 052908 mozilla mac build on OS 9.1 Please reopen
if you are still seeing this with a current nightly build. Thanks for your help
in testing Mozilla and reporting bugs.

If this is a font problem (as described above by Jonas and Alexey) please file a
clean bug about that issue. Thanks.
