9123 - Table does not render correctly

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

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

Description

[jerouris]

The Table of news and below does not render correctly.
It should be width=100% but it is not.

I have tested with M7 and M6 on winNt and Win98

Attachment: a simplified version of the URL showing the bug

Attachment: testcase; problem table narrowed to the base problem (with comments)

Comment 3

[John Morrison]

I'm sure this is not unique, but I can't find a match offhand. At any rate,
the second testcase shows the issue: "in Nav4.x, the middle column gets the
width of the maximum width cell in the column; on 5.0, the middle column gets
the opposite treatment."

Attachment: testcase; reverse row order of previous testcase -- different widths

Comment 5

[John Morrison]

From the third testcase: "Here's the same two row table, but the second
instance reverses the order of the rows: note that it is the first row that
defines the width (which would be right if this were table-layout: fixed ;-)"

I'm testing this with 1999-07-31-08 on Win98
The tables look the same now on Nav4.5 and Mozilla.

There's one glitch remained: the example in the 2nd attachment sometimes
has a horizontal scrollbar, although the table fits the viewport.
"Sometimes" means depending on the window width...
The scrollbar however cannot be used to scroll even 1 pixel.

Yes. This is FIXED for the original bug. However, with jul30 viewer win95, I
also see the 'sometimes horizontal scrollbar' -- it is sensitive to the initial
width of the viewport ... for troy? (if not a DUPL).

This is mostly fixed. However, the last column of the first table of the 2nd
attachment doesn't reflow properly until the window is resized.

Comment 9

[karnaze (gone)]

Moving to M13.

Comment 10

I'm not sure when this got fixed. The horizontal scroll bars sometimes appearing
was another bug that got fixed also.

Using 11/16 build, verified fixed.
