Example for the not matching tables

Some of mine colleagues reported to me that two tables doesn't fit in browsers with Webkit engine in an internal website.
I found out that this is a bug, which depends on the usage of colgroups and the span attribute.

In browsers like Firefox, Internet Explorer, ... the following two definitions are equal:
<colgroup>
  <col style="width:4em" span="3">
</colgroup>

<colgroup>
  <col style="width:4em">
  <col style="width:4em">
  <col style="width:4em">
</colgroup>

In Webkit they aren't. Instead the widths are calculated differently.

I am not able to reproduce this bug in Safari Technology Preview 165, Chrome Canary 113 and Firefox Nightly 113. All render this same.

Can we mark this as “RESOLVED CONFIGURATION CHANGED”? Thanks!

I cannot reproduce this bug today.
It must have been fixed in the last nine years.
