Load up slashdot.org. You'll see quite a few stories, contained in table cells. By "story" I mean the stuff in the big middle column, where there's a headline, a "posted by" and some brief overview. Click on any link in one of these story overviews. Instead of loading the linked URL, the word wrapping in that cell goes away (thus reflowing the document) and then nothing else happens. Sometimes I crash the viewer doing this. I'm using 11-9-98 12pm optimized bits. Not sure who to assign this to; I'm assuming it's table related?

Summary: Clicking on links on this URL breaks layout; doesn't load link → clicking on mailto: link crashes NGL
this bug report has 3 parts. Part1: links in tables with rowspans don't work. That's fixed. Part2: clicking on a link actually changes layout before the current page is replaced with the linked page. That's been reported in another bug already. Part3: clicking on mailto: links crashes NGL. That's still a problem, and I've changed the subject of this bug to reflect it. I have no idea who to assign it to, so take it away, kipp.

There was a bogus assert in the netlib that I commented out.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
doesn't crash, but I found another bug. The status bar doesn't display the mailto:link...filing separate bug.
Changing all Networking Library/Browser bugs to Networking-Core component for Browser. Occasionally, Bugzilla will burp and cause Verified bugs to reopen when I do this in a bulk change. If this happens, I will fix. ;-)
Bulk move of all Networking-Core (to be deleted component) bugs to new Networking component.
