87328 - Rendered image alt text causes cell size calculation to fail

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.1+)

If table cells have borders, and the widest cell in a column contains an image's
alt text because the image can't be loaded, the width of the cell with the alt
text is wider than corresponding cells in other rows by the width of any borders.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the attached test case.
2. Look at each of the tables.

Actual Results:  Cells with borders and broken images are wider than the
corresponding cells in other rows.

Expected Results:  The first cell of each row in each table should have the same
width as the first cell of all other rows in the table.

I'm pretty sure this is a regression. I'll try other builds once this bug is filed.

Attachment: Test case.

The is a regression. The test case works in 0.8.1, but not in 0.9 or later.

It also fails on the Mac with 0.9.

Seeing this on Sun build 2001-06-22-10 as well.

adding depends, regression

Comment 5

Does this truly depend on 41924? It doesn't really matter what content is
substituted for the image; the problem is that the width of that substituted
content is used to adjust the width of the affected cell, but none of the other
cells in the table are adjusted. I'm not an expert on the code, but it looks
likely from the outside that this bug could be fixed without 41924 being
addressed. (Especially since it was introduced long after that bug was filed.)

It doesn't depend on bug 41924, it blocks bug 41924. Bug 41924 is also acting as
an alt text uber bug.
