Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect, P3)

Description

[jst]

The given url contains basically

<doc><p>...</p>
<captionelement>...</captionelement>
<p>...</p></doc>

and the css style for captionelement is display: table-caption;

Viewing this with gecko doesn't display the content of the captionelement,
there's space on the screen where the content should be but nothing is drawn.

Verified simplest testcase. Marking as [TESTCASE]...

PROBLEM
Caption elements are not displayed.

RESULT
Blank space where caption should be.

EXPECTED
The caption in red text.

Here's the code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="http://www.citec.fi/~jst/caption_notdisplayed.css" type=
"text/css"?>
<doc>
<p>The following text is in a caption element whose style is set to
display:table-caption. The element is not inside a table.</p>
<captionelement>This is a caption element.</captionelement>
<p>If there's no red text between this text and the previous text the caption is
not displayed.</p>
</doc>

This is another anonymous table elements problem.  See bug 2479.

Fixed.

Comment 8

[jst]

This is partly fixed at least, the caption is displayd correctly but it's
impossible to select text in the caption for some season, weird!

Should we reopen or should I file a new bug?

Comment 9

[karnaze (gone)]

jst, could you please open a new bug and assign it to the "selection" component 
and assign it to "[e-mail]".

[jst]

karnaze, I looked some more into this problem and it's not just a selection
problem. I added a link (html:a) in the caption (in the the above URL) and
clicking on the url does nothing! Could this be an event problem somewhere in
the table code?

Comment 14

[Kevin McCluskey (gone)]

Verified that this is still a problem. I can't select the text in the caption 
element. Mouse down events don't seem to be reaching it.

[Kevin McCluskey (gone)]

Set M16 milestone

Comment 16

[karnaze (gone)]

Removing the dependency on bug 2479 since it is fixed and the selection is still 
not functioning.

Comment 17

[joki (gone)]

I fixed the caption issue a little while ago.
