Details

The scrolling tbody for a table has stopped working (see test4.html with nglayout distribution for example). Tried both the 19/03 and 25/03 builds.
Have done some additional investigation and found something that could explain it. It looks very much like something to do with using an external stylesheet. The example below shows a fragment that reproduces the problem. I picked an arbitrary style to put in the stylesheet, any will do it. If change the stylesheet so it is blank by deleting its contents then the scrolling body works fine. (test.htm) <!doctype HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>test</title> <link rel=stylesheet href="test.css" media=screen type="text/css"> </head> <body> <p>A paragraph of text</p> <table border=1> <thead> <tr><th>column 1<th>column 2<th>column 3<th>column 4 </thead> <tbody style="overflow: auto; height: 200px;"> <tr><td>one<td>two<td>three<td>four <tr><td>one<td>two<td>three<td>four <tr><td>one<td>two<td>three<td>four <tr><td>one<td>two<td>three<td>four <tr><td>one<td>two<td>three<td>four <tr><td>one<td>two<td>three<td>four <tr><td>one<td>two<td>three<td>four <tr><td>one<td>two<td>three<td>four <tr><td>one<td>two<td>three<td>four <tr><td>one<td>two<td>three<td>four <tr><td>one<td>two<td>three<td>four <tr><td>one<td>two<td>three<td>four <tr><td>one<td>two<td>three<td>four </tbody> </table> (test.css) p {font-weight: bold;}

No problem on my 3/29 debug & optimized WinNT builds.
Checked again with 26/03 build and has the same results. Most visible on this page: http://www.devon-cc.gov.uk/marriage/approved.html (screenshot here: http://www.devon-cc.gov.uk/marriage/test.gif) Resizing fixes the display.
On my WinNT 3/29 optimized and 3/30 debug builds, http://www.devon-cc.gov.uk/marriage/approved.html looks ok. Let's wait for Chris Petersen to verify.

With the April 5th build, I don't experience the problem shown in the gif image. The table is display correctly during scrolling.
