9291 - Passing Mouse Over Unvisited (Supposedly) Link Causes Table Resize

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 7522

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

Description

[loosus]

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Make sure the browser is closed, firstly.
2) Then, open it up.
3) Go to http://www.mozilla.org/
4) Go down the page until where it says, "Mozilla is Alive and Well".
5) Pass the mouse over the mozilla.org link. The link should turn purple
(meaning it's been visited), but it also resizes the surrounding table, or
cell.

Actual Results:
Passing the mouse over the seemingly unvisited link (although it was actually
being visited at the very moment that it was being passed over) changed the cell
size.

Expected Results:
The cell size shouldn't have changed due to the mouse passing over the link.

Build Date & Platform Bug Found:
July 5, Win32 (Win95)

[TESTCASE]
(use attachment file)
Occurs for tables with a width that is explicitly set as a percentage. When the
mouse button is clicked and held on the link (ALINK color shown), the table
increases in width. Text wrapping will cause different cells to absorb the new
space.

Probably a bug in the relationship between relative table widths and text
wrapping.

This occurs whenever there is a link that triggers a reflow (because
of :active, :hover,...) that is nested within an element nested within a table.
