Please see the attached testcase.

All three browsers(IE,FF,Safari) render different.

In my opinion element with display:table-row shouldn't have influence on calculating parent element height like normal <tr> element so the case exposes bug in Webkit. Only Firefox displays it correctly. Opera also fails but differently.

The table is before the first div.  This is clearly some kind of ordering bug.

In addition in quirks mode we allow a table with no cells to have height (either from the row or the table specifying a height).  However for CSS-anonymous tables we really should not support the quirk.

So I see two bugs here.

Dave, in strict mode the test case looks identical as in quirks mode: http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/?%3C!DOCTYPE%20html%3E%0A%3Cdiv%20%20style%3D%22border%3A2px%20solid%20black%3B%20%20width%3A%20100px%22%3E%0A%20%20%20%20%20%3Cdiv%20%20style%3D%22border%3A2px%20solid%20red%3Bheight%3A%2060px%3B%20width%3A%2080px%3B%22%3E%3C%2Fdiv%3E%0A%20%20%20%20%20%3Cdiv%20style%3D%22border%3A2px%20solid%20green%3B%20display%3A%20table-row%3B%20width%3A%2080px%3B%20height%3A%2020px%3B%22%3E%3C%2Fdiv%3E%0A%3C%2Fdiv%3E

Safari 15.6 matches with Chrome but differs from Firefox

I am not sure on web-spec nor on expected result but as can be seen from attached screenshot - Safari matches with Chrome but differ from Firefox. Thanks!

The original test case:

<div style="border:2px solid black;  width: 100px">

  <div style="
    border: 2px solid red; 
    height: 60px; 
    width: 80px; 
    background-color: gold;
    "></div>

  <div style="
    border: 2px solid green;  
    width: 80px;
    background-color: pink; 
    height: 20px;

    display: table-row;

    "></div>

</div>


* In Firefox, the second `div` has a computed width of 0 and a height of 16 px with a border of 2px (and still it is not visible at all)
* In Chrome and Safari, the dimensions are the same *BUT we see the height*


Interestingly if I do 

<table style="border:2px solid black;  width: 100px">
  <tr style="border: 2px solid red; height: 60px; width: 80px; background-color: gold;"></tr>
  <tr style="border: 2px solid green; width: 80px; height: 20px; background-color: pink;"></tr>
</table>

* In Firefox the second TR is 88x16px (but the space is not drawn) and even more bizarre the selector of devtools show the square below.
* In Safari/Chrome it is 92x16 px (but the space is drawn)

HTML spec
For TR elements:

    Zero or more td, th, and script-supporting elements.
    https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#the-tr-element

SO this is ok:
<table><tr></tr></table>



CSS 2 says:

   If a child C of a table-row box is not a table-cell, 
   then generate an anonymous table-cell box around C 
   and all consecutive siblings of C 
   that are not table-cell boxes.
    https://drafts.csswg.org/css2/#anonymous-boxes


CSS Table Module Level 3 (NOT READY for implementation)
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-tables-3/

  To summarize, an instance of the table model consists of:
    Its table-root containing:
       * Zero, one or more table rows, optionally in row groups,
       * Each of them containing one or more table cells. (<- NOT ZERO here)

AND

  * A table-row is misparented if its parent is neither a table-row-group nor a table-root box.

  Beside their display type, the anonymous boxes created for fixup purposes 
  do not receive any specific or default styling, 
  except where otherwise mentioned by this specification.
