85306 - use of label within th with text-align: right style doesn't render correctly

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Brian Duff]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0b; Windows NT 5.0; COM+ 1.0.2204)
BuildID:    2001061104

In the page at http://balveda.dubh.org/mozilla/rightlabels/test.html, there is 
a table with two columns. The cells in the first column are <th> with the text-
align: right style set.

Two of these cells are using the <label> tag for accessibility, one isn't. The 
text in all three th cells ought to be lined up on the right edge (which they 
are in IE 6beta). In Mozilla, the text in the first <th> fails to display at 
all and the text in the second <th> spills into the textfield in the cell next 
to it. The <th> which isn't using <label> renders correctly. (basically the 
table is hopelessly unusable)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Browse the URL http://balveda.dubh.org/mozilla/rightlabels/test.html

Actual Results:  It didn't render properly

Expected Results:  It should render properly

Verified this with Linux, so marking OS:All

Moving to "Layout" as all the other <label> problems(seem to be a lot) are
assigned there. Apparently mozilla treats the <label> tag in a special way and
causes many odd results.

Reassigning to layout people...

Comment 5

[Kelson]

This seems to affect any table cell, whether it's <th> or <td>, and seems to be
related to the relative lengths of text in the cell with the <label> and the
cell below it.  All three forms are identical, as far as the markup goes, and
depending on the amount of text the label is either (1) aligned incorrectly,
overlapping the next cell; (2) invisible (see bug 82618); or (3) aligned correctly.

This should be fixed if we start treating label as a normal inline element. 
(Right?  Is it possible to reproduce this with anything other than label?  If it
is, please reopen.)

 In the given URI the text in the first <th> still does not display and the text 
in the second and third cell spills on the text box.. The problem still exits
In the attached test case it does not use the tag <th> to show the actual 
problem...

It works fine when I try it, having applied the patch for bug 47149. I'm 
downloading a nightly to see if I can verify.

Confirmed with 2001082508 nightly, the testcase I supplied in the URL above now
works fine.
