(Whiteboard: [TESTCASE])

Using 4/16 build on Win 95, Win NT, Win 98, Mac8.5 and Linux. Open URL. There are two left aligned tables. Expected behavior: The first table should be left aligned. The second table should be left aligned under the first table. Actual behavior: The first table is left aligned. The second table is directly to the right of the first table (cross platform).

Is this really the legacy behavior for aligned tables? How do they interact with align=left images? Do they act as though they have a clear: left only when they are after a floated table, or for everything? I can't see your test case, so it's hard to test.
Here is the test, David. Your questions are also ones that I would like answered. I am not sure how they should align - this bug may not be valid. <html> <head> <title>Bug 492</title> </head> <body> <table border=1 align=left> <tr> <td>text</td> <td>text</td> </tr> <tr> <td>text</td> <td>text</td> </tr> <tr> <td>text</td> <td>text</td> </tr> <tr> <td>text</td> <td>text</td> </tr> </table> <table border=1 align=left> <tr> <td>text</td> <td>text</td> <td>text</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
Moving to M9.

Verified simplest testcase. Marking as [TESTCASE]... A left-align table does not align properly when there is another table above it.

Resolution: --- → INVALID
Based on 4.x legacy behavior and traditional interpretation of align="left" as "float: left" I am marking this bug invalid. Mozilla layout is the same as 4.x. Actual (4.x and Mozilla) and Expected behavior: multiple tables with align="left" can be next to each other if room allows, just as floats can be.
"Rubber Stamping" this Verified Invalid...Chris if your questions have been answered you can really verify it.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
tested in 4.5 and 4.7, 5.0 layout same as 4.x
