96343 - Rows in tables overlap/overlay other rows in table.

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Tables, defect)

Description

[riscky]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:0.9.3+) Gecko/20010821
BuildID:    2001082105

I will have an attached image to show the exact problem.

Entire rows from the main table that contains 'news' stories overlap other rows
that contain news stories. Refreshing the page does resolve the issue.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Clear memory and disk cache
2.Visit fark.com
3.Scroll down page looking for blank areas between news stories.
4.Next story has overlapping text from the blank area as well as the text that
should appear in that row.

Actual Results:  Overlapping rows in table

Expected Results:  one flat smooth table. refresh page to see expected results.

Thinking that this might be a dup of bug 82946 however since the build I am
using 2001-08-21 (os x trunk build) is new as of today and the patch and fix for
bug 82946 has been in since 2001-08-07 either this is a new bug or bug 82946 is
not fixed.

Confirming using Mac/2001082208 on Mac OS 9.1. The problem doesn't occur using Mac/
2001080214 (0.9.3), though.

There is at least some evangelism part to this bug, though. The HTML in question is 
riddled with errors, mostly involving FORM elements inside TABLE or TR elements where 
they don't belong. Attaching version of their page made valid and well-formed.

Attachment: HTML made valid and well-formed does not exhibit problem

I'm seeing the problem on the trunk but not the m0.9.2 branch. I tried canceling 
the patch in bug 89315, but it didn't make any difference. Could this be a 
parser issue? We need a reduced test case.

If this bug is Mac specific please change platform to Macintosh from All

I'm not seeing the problem on a 9/4/1 debug Win2K trunk build. Since the 
platform was changed to mac, reassigning to attinasi.

I filed bug 100073 for this problem on Linux (so its not Mac specific).
Problem still exists in build 2001091908.

Chris, I'm seeing the problem in the testcase on the 9-20 0.9.4 build. Can you
take a look? Bounce as necessary, of course.

I'm not sure if this is the same bug or not, but you can see the same
effect (massive table overlapping) about halfway down the page at
<http://www.amurgsval.org/shadowrun/learning.html>.

The W3C validator has no complaints about the table structure of this
page (it does bitch a lot about numeric entities and improper nesting of
<H2> inside <A> etc).

Zack, http://www.amurgsval.org/shadowrun/learning.html appears to be a different 
bug since the patch does not fix it. Could you please open a new bug with 
the dataloss keyword.
