Actually, when I use tables for layout, that is the desired result.
Often the way a cell gets enough content to make it vertically taller is
that the window is shrunk, which makes the table shrink, which makes the
cells shrink, which makes the text reflow (desired result), and then to
keep the layout functionally intact, the other cells get the space.
The other possible result would be that the layout stays firm, resulting
in horizontal scrolling, which is a Bad Thing.
