The following table is rendered incorrecly. If you put <td></td> where the comment is, than it's OK. I've checked M3 and 99-04-06 nightly. ----------------- <table border> <tr> <td colspan=2>cell1</td> <td rowspan=2>cell2</td> <tr> <td rowspan=2>cell3</td> <!-- leaving out the last(!) cell in the row <td></td> --> <tr> <td colspan=2>cell2</td> </table>

I created the attachment not to simplify the testcase, but to make it more clear. I removed the html comment and created two tables the first one is the one that is laid out incorrectly, the second one is there for reference. The table structure looks like: +-----------+-----+ |cell1 |cell2| | | | +-----+-----+ | |cell3| MID | | | | CELL| | | +-----+-----+ | |cell4 | | | | +-----+-----------+ Notice that while the "MID CELL" is not the last cell in it's row, but in practice it is, because "cell2" is specified in the first row. So the "MID CELL" can be left out of the table source. That's what causing the error. Looks like "cell4" is somehow put in the second row instead of the third.
Looks much better with the 1999-07-31-08 build. Cell 4 is a little bit up to the place it should be, but it might be a different bug.
