HTML file showing the behavior

Version:           4.4.1 (using KDE 4.4.1) 
OS:                Linux

Relative repositioning of a table caption causes the caption to be displayed twice, one time in the new, one time in the original position.

The DOM tree looks as it should (only one caption element).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
In a table, include a caption and a table body, e.g. one or more table rows. Reposition the caption using CSS, `position: relative; left: -20px;`.

Actual Results:  
The caption is displayed twice.

Expected Results:  
The caption should be displayed only in its new position.

Thank you for reporting this issue in KDE software. As it has been a while since this issue was reported, can we please ask you to see if you can reproduce the issue with a recent software version?

If you can reproduce the issue, please change the status to "REPORTED" when replying. Thank you!

I had a look on Kubuntu with Konqueror 21.12.3. When using the WebEngine renderer the page loads just fine. When using the KHTML renderer, Konqueror crashes each time I try to open the example document attached to this bug report.

I created a local file with the same contents, and the KHTML renderer still seems to duplicate the caption. It appears at its regular position as well as the replaced position.

Thank you for responding to such an old bug report of mine. It does seem to be easily reproduced, seeing I was just able to reproduce it from a completely different machine and operating system than the one I used when I reported this bug.

This being said, it seems there may be more important things for KHTML to support. Personally I no longer have any context for this bug and no need to have KHTML render repositioned table captions correctly. As far as I am concerned, this bug can be closed.

Dear user,

KHTML (and KJS) was a long time more or less unmaintained and got removed in KF6.

Please migrate to use a QWebEngine based HTML component.

We will do no further fixes or improvements to the KF5 branches of these components beside important security fixes.

For security issues, please see:

https://kde.org/info/security/

Sorry that we did not fix this issue during the life-time of KHTML.

Greetings
Christoph Cullmann
