7901 - {inc} When form is submitted, contents move to the left

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Build ID: 1999060909
Platform: Windows NT

If you go to the above URL, and type a word into the WWWebster Dictionary text
input control, and press Search, everything moves to the left.

I'm not sure why this is, but the document contains iframes, so I'm guessing
it's a frame problem of some kind. If not, please reassign.

This is just a quick guess, but i think that mouse-down on the content area is
causing a reflow.  Maybe the shifting to the left effect is caused by the reflow
assuming there is no scrollbar on the first pass.

Reassigning frameset/iframe bugs to Eric.

[TESTCASE]
Indeed, the button is causing a reflow. No iframe problem, and no scroll bar
problem, though.

The problem is that there is a nested table which is bigger than the container
table, and the container table is growing to fit (it shouldn't) on the initial
flow. The reflow does it all correctly.

Reassigning to HTMLTables. A minimised test case has been created:

Submitting the form results in an empty document. Gagan, please reassign to me
when this is fixed.

[Gagan]

Has this been verified recently? If its still a necko bug reassign to me. Thx.

I tried putting "travel" inside the Dictionary text field of the original url
and the next page (a cgi script) was blank. I think cgi is not working. I'm
using a 9/17 pm build, because my 9/20 build is not working due to proxy server
bugs.

I'm guessing it's been fixed at some point along the way. gagan, I'd mark it as
a mystery fix / fixed. I used the test case supplied by py8ieh&c. and it seems
to be fine now.

This problem seems to be fixed in the Sept 27th build.
