99582 - Form input fields are sometimes misplaced when inside nested tables

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Pontus Lidman]

The given URL shows this problem, but I have also attached a trimmed-down
test case that shows the same problem.

The actual web page renders correctly in Netscape 4.x and Internet Explorer.
I have seen the same problem on some other pages where forms are inside
tables.

The input boxes (frames) are rendered in the correct place. The input widget
(or whatever you call it) is somewhere else, i.e. clicking inside the
lower input box does not produce a cursor and the possibility to type.
When clicking around the page, it is clear thet the first input widget
is above the first input box, and the second input widget is in the same
position as the first input box. Try clicking somewhat above the first box
and type something...
