not specific to Firefox

I'm not sure what "not specfic to firefox" means, but it doesn't happen on IE6. Perhaps the poster was referring to Mozilla, Firebird, or Phoenix?

Reproduced on build 2004030108 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:) Gecko/20040301 Confirming and moving to Layout: Tables terris: Yes, Charles Fenwick was referring to Mozilla and Firefox (formerly Firebird, and *sigh*, formerly Phoenix). Because Firefox shares the same Gecko layout engine as Mozilla, if you run into a layout bug in Firefox, chances are it affects Mozilla as well.

I can't find any "Document Literal" link on that page, and I can't make it to grow the table, using: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a4) Gecko/20040907 Firefox/0.9.1+ But I see a problem with the page. On first load or shift->reload I see that the middle column is too wide, which is fixed on a regular reload.

This is a simplified testcase of the bug I described in comment 4. You should see no horizontal scrollbar in this testcase (but there is), the table should not be that wide. I think the I described is more or less the same bug as bug 238856.

the fr.... xul frame returns the previously available width as mew

Robert, should I add the same code the the XUL scroll frame? I don't know when it is executed.

Yes, add it to the XUL scroll frame. They should stay in sync at this point.

Comment on attachment 161663 [details] [diff] [review] patch for both frame types switching reviewer (Robert is busy)

Is this really the right thing to do for 'auto' width? Wouldn't this break something like: <table width="1" border><tr><td> <div style="overflow:hidden">Hello</div> </td></tr></table>

No the patch does not alter the rendering in this case, you will not see the "Hello". The rendering is identical to Opera but is different from IE.

Comment on attachment 161663 [details] [diff] [review] patch for both frame types r+sr=dbaron, but fix the odd indentation in the new code (one line over-indented, although you could make both assignments into one, i.e., a=b=...)
