90297 - text-indent: (percentage); with certain css combinations causes table misrender.

http://web.thock.com/mozilla/nbsp_bug2.html

The difference?  <p>&nbsp;</p> inside the same td that has a sub-table for story
title/story intro.  It somehow eats the next cell entirely!

&nbsp; eating a table cell is sorta big, IMO :/

Oh, forgot to mention this affects 2001070521 and 2001071021.

The page even breaks in IE, but in a different way.
Confirmed Win2K/2001070904
Are you sure that it is a &nbsp; issue?  Looks more like a <p> issue, especially
if its related to the other bug your reported (bug 90300).

Yeah, IE misrenders a lot of things for no good reason.  It can't handle the
nested table that Mozilla fixed its problems with in bug 25707, even though
every other browser (Lynx, Konq, NS4, iCab, Opera, MacIE) flows the table width
fine.

The Mozilla bug is a really weird one, because that page worked a month ago.  I
don't know what changes caused the misrendering to occur.

It's the style for the <p> that makes the table go out of wack:
  p { text-indent: 5%; white-space: pre }

Reassigning to alexsavulov to determine if it is a block or table issue.

reporter if you are still seeing this in a recent build please reopen

REOPEN. The reason why the reported URLs are working is that the CSS file used,
"http://thock.com/test/?op=css;type=group;css=mainpage", is no longer present.
If you change that to the stylesheet the main page on the site uses,
"http://web.thock.com/style.css" you will see that the bug is still present.
In "http://web.thock.com/style.css" there is a rule that says:
P {
	text-indent: 5%;
	font-family: gill, helvetica, sans-serif;
	text-decoration: none; 
	background: transparent;
	margin-left: 1%;
	margin-right: 1%;
}

and it is the "text-indent: 5%" that is causing the bad cell sizing.

Much as my testcase have shown all along, BTW.

adding regression keyword from bug 90300
changing summary to the real problem
these 'certain css combinations' might only be the presence of text-decoration,
but I'll have to check.

The checkin for bug 130116 may have helped this some.  However, it still looks
like something is taking 5% of NS_UNCONSTRAINEDSIZE.
