Description Alexis Deveria 2008-09-10 08:14:54 PDT
Crashes in latest nightly Webkit, as well as Safari 3.1 and Chrome 0.2 on OSX 10.5, Windows XP and presumably other OSes.

This is the minimal HTML I've found required to replicate the crash:

<table><tr><b><form style="display:inline"></b><td>a</td><td><p>

I have contacted the website and suggested they remove the <b> tags, since they don't serve any purpose in this case anyway.

The website ( http://outpost10f.com/ ) has now removed the buggy HTML, so it won't crash any more.

better version of "loose ends" patch

I don't understand why it's ok to remove this line:

bool wrapInAnonymousSection = !child->isPositioned();

and replace it with false.

Because every single code path after that sets wrapInAnonymousSection to either true or false; that value is ignored and my patch doesn't change behavior at all.

If we need correct handling of positioned elements we need to fix the code to not do that any more. And write test cases so it doesn't break again.

Also, the other tables renderers that do wrapping similarly don't check isPositioned.
