           Summary: Col width is not honored when dynamically updated and
                    it would make table narrower
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
               URL: http://jsfiddle.net/BugIssuer/7mWrR/
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tables
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: bug.issuer at gmail.com


In the example on the attached URL, a simple table with one column and one row is used. The width of this table is controlled by the width of the single col element. If the col width is dynamically updated to a wider width than the original width, the table resizes just fine, but if the col width is updated to a narrower width than the original width, the table will not get narrower than the original width.

The expected behavior is that the table width would shrink as well as grow as the col width changes. 

The same behavior was observed with both an auto and fixed layout table.

This behavior was observed in Chrome 23.0.1271.97 and Safari 5.1.7 on Windows 7 as well as Chrome 23.0.1271.97 and Safari 6.0.2 on OS X 10.8.
The expected behavior was observed in Firefox 17.0.1, IE 9.0.8112.16421 and Opera 12.11.1661 on Windows 7 as well as Firefox 17.0.1 on OS X 10.8.
