Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Choose Insert | Table from Table Menu and accept defaults 2. Select a cell and choose "Table Properties" from the Table Menu 3. Choose the "Cells" tab 4. Set the height to 100 pixels and click OK 5. Choose Table | "Table Properties" and the Cell tab again. 6. Clear the "Height" textField (ensure checkbox is enabled) 7. Click OK Actual Results: The "height: 100px;" remains in the style property of the <td> tag. <td style="vertical-align: top; height: 100px;"> Expected Results: Removed the "height: 100px;" part of the inline style. <td style="vertical-align: top;"> I have "Use CSS styles instead of HTML elements and attributes" checked in Preferences/Composer (this is the default setting). Specific information for other parts of this dialog: Content Alignment: There should be a blank option in the drop downs which removes settings. Also I believe that the vertical-align should be blank by default (especially for users with higher-level CSS settings. Cell Style: This component doesn't work. See bug 230160 Text Wrap: Choosing "Wrap" actually clears the "white-space: nowrap;". This will fail to give expected results if you thought you would override a "white-space: nowrap;" defined in a higher-level CSS definition. It would be nice if this drop-down had <blank>,normal,nowrap,pre. This would cover the 3 CSS white-space values. The equivalent HTML attribute only has wrap/nowrap so this may be tricky? Background Color: This can be reset successfully. This issue may have to take into account a trade-off between support for CSS versus support for deprecated HTML attributes. IMHO we should give CSS preference as the future of HTML. Note that in the example, if you use Apply instead of OK, it appears to work, but it is not really clearing the "Height", it is resetting the last value. Confirm this by setting 100 pixels, Apply; 200 pixels, Apply; clear the textfield, Apply. The Height is reset to 100 pixels. Maybe this should be broken into separate issues? I consider the "Size" behaviour to be a bug, Text-wrap and Content-Alignment to be enhancement requests.
confirmed, taking.

Reporter: yes, please slice this bug into pieces. I consider the current one to be only about sizes and cell style.
Summary: Ability to remove properties from Table Cells. → Can't reset table cell size and change table cell style
the bug about being unable to switch a cell to header type is a regression introduced by brade 2003-jul-28 with fix for bug 209548. Before patch : // Set to the opposite of current type nsAutoString tagName; GetTagString(aSourceCell, tagName); NS_NAMED_LITERAL_STRING(tdType, "td"); NS_NAMED_LITERAL_STRING(thType, "th"); nsString newCellType( (tagName == tdType) ? thType : tdType ); After patch : // Set to the opposite of current type nsCOMPtr<nsIAtom> atom = nsEditor::GetTag(aSourceCell); nsString newCellType( (atom == nsEditProperty::th) ? NS_LITERAL_STRING("th") : NS_LITERAL_STRING("td")); and that last piece of code is false.... Should be nsString newCellType( (atom == nsEditProperty::td) ? NS_LITERAL_STRING("th") : NS_LITERAL_STRING("td"));

re: Comment #3 Bug 230653 added for Content Alignment. Bug 230654 added for Text Wrap. I have changed my mind on the "Enhancement" status of these. They both can produce "Unexpected results".
