* TITLE/SUMMARY [PP] www.geocities.com: Complex, nested tables don't render on Mac Viewer * STEPS TO REPRODUCE 0) Launch Viewer 1) View www.geocities.com * RESULT - What happened All that renders is the "G" in the upper-left hand corner, and the banner ad. None of the rest of the page content (a big set of nested tables containing the bulk of the content) is not rendered. I've managed to blow away half of the HTML code and still have most of the problematic layout, but I fear that complex table layout decomposition just ain't my thing. - What was expected Output equivalent to Win32 build. * REGRESSION - Occurs On viewer (1.14.99 optimized build for Mac OS) viewer (1.13.99 optimized build for Mac OS) - Doesn't Occur On viewer (1.14.99 optimized build for Win32 [NT 4, Service Pack 3]) Communicator 4.5 (Mac OS RTM) - Haven't Checked viewer (1.13.99 optimized build for Linux --- build is broken) * CONFIGURATIONS TESTED - PowerMac 8500/120 (233 Mhz 604e), 64 MB RAM, 1024x768 (16-bit video), Mac OS 8.5.1

Severity: normal → major
Marking as severity=major as it's not a crash or development blocker. Eli, does any site but GeoCities exhibit this problem? If not, this should be downgraded to severity=normal as it may be related to the GeoBranding layer stuff which GeoCities uses to advertise their free web pages. Reassigning to pierre as it's a core issue and may need to be resolved in Gecko land. Kick it back if you don't agree and we can find a new owner.
Hi, Steve --- I have seen a multitude of other web sites in which portions of tables do not render, although I do not know off the top of my head those were Mac-specific. In this case, I don't believe I saw any layers used in the web page (and removing the <!-- <SERVICE NAME="watermark"> --> section containing the watermark Javascript didn't have any effect, which I did as part of the original bug investigation, but neglected to note.)

Resolution: --- → FIXED
Something really good happened in the last few days. I'm not sure what exactly but it works now. Marking Fixed.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
A miracle does appear to have happened. Specifically: * the bug does occur as documented when browsing the geocities page with the 1.15.99 build * the bug does not occur anymore (as Pierre notes) when browsing the page with the 1.21.99 build. Thus, Verified fixed.
