Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. write a simple html file with a simple table with <table width="350"><tr><td>...</td></tr></table> 2. within the table cel type a long string that contains no spaces that will exceed the width of the table (350) Actual Results: loaded the page and noticed the text does not wrap to suit the table but it expands the table to suit the text Expected Results: wrapped text at the table width

This is the correct behaviour. If the content of a table cell is bigger than the specified size for the cell, it should expand the table. -> INVALID.

INVALID as per comment #1

Since the reporter expects that the text is wrapped inside the table, it's a dupe of bug 95067.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 95067 ***

why a duplicate? the reporter says nothing about hyphens? he just expects the table to be the width specified instead of the width of the nonwrapping text.

Kai, read bug 95067 and check its dupes

No, this is simply invalid. We're never going to change the table algorithm, where the WIDTH attribute means and has always meant 'min-width'. We might change the line-breaking algorithm to break around hyphens (in fact, we should).
