  has anyone noticed some weird rendering issues with tables?
• 21:22
  tomman
  here is a case: imgur.com/a/um8rVIM
• 21:22

  table is this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Graphic…logy#Xe_LP_Architecture_%28Gen12%29
• 21:22
  tomman
  notice that how in SeaMonkey, some of the cells spanning multiple rows still have borders inside the cells, although text is properly positioned
• 21:23
  tomman
  (in fact it seems to happen in many tables at Wikipedia)
• 21:23
  tomman
  on FF91ESR it renders fine
• 21:24
  tomman
  FWIW, it also renders fine on good ol' 2.49.5 on XP :)
• 21:25

  --borders inside the merged cells

  tomman: even before opening the image, I think yes.
• 21:42
  njsg
  on mediawiki at wikipedia, so same-ish site
• 21:44
  njsg
  tomman: second column from the left, all but last? (well, but last and first)
• 21:47
  njsg
  interesting, happens in Composer too with the red lines
• 22:01
  tomman
  dunno when it started happening
• 22:01
  tomman
  but have only noticed at Wikipedia (need to check other MediaWiki sites)
• 22:02
  njsg
  bug 1755218?
• 22:02
  njsg
  (as it goes away if I disable "border-collapse: collapse" on wikipedia)
• 22:04
  njsg
  as in the attached screenshot, I get only a "partial" border with that tournament page, not the "full" burder, but after I select and deselect text around that border, I get the "full" border.

  reminds me of a VERY similar bug I had with a PDF generator library with border-collapse: collapse
• 22:07
  tomman
  interesting enough it does not happen on SM2.49 or FF91ESR
• 22:08
  tomman
  and that bug report sends me to bug 332740
• 22:08

  which is 16 years old!

  bug 1755218 comment 15
• 22:10
  njsg
  1485179 appears to be in?
• 22:19
  tomman
  so basically border-collapse:collapse is a minefield for corner cases, except that everything turns out to be a corner case at any time?
• 22:20
  tomman
  and given my experience on similar issues with other rendering engines (Flying Saucer/openhtmltopdf), seems to be hard
• 22:29
  » njsg needs to procure some sleep

  tomman: the table is rendered fine in 2.53.9 and 2.57
• 23:37
  hardys
  tomman: renders fine in 2.53.10 and 2.53.11, issue is present in 2.53.12
• 23:37
  tomman
  hardys: curious indeed, thanks
• 23:38

  pretty much approaches the timeline on when I started noticing the issue
