II Issue: The leftmost blue column has white space

III Conclusion: The code has 2 tables. The parent  table has the blue border. Within one of the <td> of the parent table, there's another table with the cyan background. The issue here is that the <td> in the child table (red background) does not span the entire height of the parent table. This is because the height of the parent table is not defined even though the <td> of the parent table that contains the child table has a height defined (for this case 100%)

IV Other browsers: 
FF: ok
Opera: not ok
IE 7: ok

V Nightly tested: r30551

Safari 15.6 matches Chrome but differs from Firefox

I am able to reproduce this bug in Safari 15.6 on macOS 12.5 where Safari does not fill "red" to fill cell similar to Chrome but Firefox does. I am not sure on web-spec, what is right behavior. So I will leave others to conclude on this but just wanted to share updated testing results. Thanks!
