Does anyone know when the broken table code (ie. background colouring just
repeating the first occurrence) is likely to get fixed. It's been broken
for about a month now!

It's what we learn after we think we know it all that counts.

When somebody with knowledge of that code has some spare time they're
willing to spend on it.

Could you produce a test case?

Could you produce a test case?
There are several, but you could view
http://ccdb.cropcircleresearch.com/?d=x&y=2008&c=uk&m=Aug
The table should be alternating rows of light green and white 'graph
paper'. The darker green is only used for the title row.
As far as I can work out, if NetSurf receives a background colour for a row
(the first/top row in the table above is the 'dark green', colour #85cd8d)
it inherits that colour for all subsequent rows (TRs).
The light green graph paper appears correctly because it's specified by
<tr class=alternate"> which specifies the background wallpaper. However,
the rows where the dark green appears should be the background colour of
the page because they're specified by just <tr> (and hence picking up the
previous tr colour I presume).
The table itself doesn't have a background colour, so any rows which just
contain <tr> should show through the page background colour, which is the
white graphpaper. View on a different web browser to see what it /should/
look like.

Test case:
<table>
<tr bgcolor="yellow"><td>yellow background</td></tr>
<tr><td>no background</td></tr>

I think it always inherits the /first/ colour defined, thus, to add to your
test case;
<table>
<tr bgcolor="yellow"><td>yellow background</td></tr>
<tr><td>no background</td></tr>
<tr bgcolor="red"><td>red background</td></tr>
<tr><td>no background</td></tr>
</table>
the bottom row appears as yellow (first one specified) and not red (last
one specified).

Yes. The first bgcolour is getting added to the implied row group, which
surrounds all the rows. To see what's happening:
1) Load that test case in NetSurf
2) Press F9 to dump the box tree
3) Assuming Zap, make the width really wide with ctrl+w 8000
4) You'll see: the row group incorrectly has background-color: #00fffff;
the 1st row correctly has background-color: #00fffff;
the 2nd row correctly has background-color: transparent;

<table>
<tr bgcolor="yellow"><td>yellow background</td></tr>
<tr><td>no background</td></tr>
<tr bgcolor="red"><td>red background</td></tr>
<tr><td>no background</td></tr>

(last

I think you need to go one step further and start with
<table bgcolor="blue">
to make sure it's inherited correctly by the cells with no colour.
You could also have more than one cell in a row to check correct
inheritance/override of table and row colours.

You could look at http://www.soundhunters.com/iarcs.html .
The bgcolor in the table tag is ignored. The bgcolor on the first row
(headings) is applied to all the remaining rows which should be a
paler green.

I've put one in the bug report which I sent in. Maybe not quite the
same bug?
http://www.nowirul.myzen.co.uk/test.htm
There should be a dark green border around each cell.

This was the same bug and it's fixed in the latest build.
Thanks for reporting.

I have already reported one via Email, as I couldn't get access to
the bug tracker at the time.
