Bug 78519 – RenderTable::addChild() wrapInAnonymousSection is never !child->isPositioned()

• Status: NEW
• Component: Tables

[Robert Hogan]

void RenderTable::addChild(RenderObject* child, RenderObject* beforeChild)
{
    // Make sure we don't append things after :after-generated content if we have it.
    if (!beforeChild)
        beforeChild = afterPseudoElementRenderer();

    bool wrapInAnonymousSection = !child->isPositioned();

What was this initialization once for I wonder? The subsequent code means this initial value is not used anymore.

I wonder too, CSS 2.1 (section 17.2.1) doesn't special case the 'generate missing child wrappers' for out-of-flow elements.

It seems we didn't wrap out-of-flow elements at some point but this regressed. See bug 11363.

Is this needed? Thanks!
