78162 - text not wrapped, items left-justified instead of centered

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[Andrew Paterson]

This is a strange one - I cannot believe that no-one has noticed this as it has 
been happening for a while (maybe it is just my setup again). If I click on any 
of the links on the left-hand side, the "thank you" page has the text, graphics 
and button are all left-justified (they should be centered) and the text is not 
wrapped (it goes off the right-hand side of the screen). If I click on the button 
it jumps to the center where it should have been.

Note: Due to a new system here, I am no longer required to go through a proxy.

I'm also seeing this in Build 2001042921 in Linux.
I've tried to reduce the html to a testcase, but if I remove some of the html,
the problem goes away.
There's a load of tables and tables inside tables in the page.

Reporter: are you still seeing this?
In Build 2001062804 in WinNT, the url looks similar in Mozilla to IE.

Using Mozilla nightly build from June 13 (ok, it is over a fortnight old - just!)
I still see the problem but not consistently. Sometimes it displays correctly,
sometimes it doesn't. The first "thank you" page displayed correctly, but most of
the following ones did not. I will grab a more recent build and try again.

Just tried again using nightly build 2001062904. It only failed once out of about
a dozen attempts - the rest rendered fine. Therefore I am now marking this bug as
WORKSFORME because it did (mostly)! I did notice the occasional rendering glitch
in other pages so it may be that sometimes the page is corrupted on download (I
have had this problem before here and it is likely that Mozilla is not at fault).

I am approaching the stage where I can actually use Mozilla as my main browser -
great! Many thanks to all the team.

If it fails "once in a dozen attempts" the bug is still in there...
A simple way to repeat this is to:
1. load any page
2. load Testcase #1
3. go "Back"
4. go "Forward"

Adding topembed keyword, since this likely affects many pages containing 
images, is a fundamental incremental table reflow flaw, and the patch is very 
low risk.

The patch is in, but leaving open due to topembed keyword.

 The testcase attached looks good on win2K build id 2001-09-24
and linux 7.1 2001-09-24
