This bug occurs in the 9-2-98 build of NGLayout. If you look at the "search archive" and "older news" sections, you'll see that the older news section extends beyond the edge of the navigation bar. Both tables have exactly the same properties. Also, the <P> tags in the "older news" table do not render at all. If viewed in the 9-3-98 mozilla or Communicator 4.5, that table renders correctly - the text flows properly and the <P> tags render properly as well. That's all for now

viewer differs from Nav4.5 which is illustrated by the simple extraction below. I'm not sure how we should handle this compatibility issue. We are trying to honor the <TD WIDTH=190> but Nav4.5 appears not to be. <HTML> <BODY> <HR style="width:190px;"> <TABLE border=1 WIDTH=350> <TR> <TD COLSPAN="2"> MozillaZine.org Is Now Active!</TD></TR> <TR> <TD WIDTH="190">&nbsp;</TD> <TD BGCOLOR="FF9900"> Thursday September 17th, 1998></TD></TR> </TABLE></TD></TR> </BODY> </html>

Priority: P2 → P3
Target Milestone: M3 → M4
Regarding my last test case, IE5 renders it the way Gecko does (honoring the width on the table cell). I'm downgrading the priority and severity and moving it to M4. If we decide to support Nav4.5 comptibility for this it is going to be a bigger job than M3 can withstand.
