Javadoc "Method Summary" table is misaligned if overridden JDK method has {@inheritDoc} tag

XMLWordPrintable

        The Javadoc HTML table for a class is messed up if any of the method documentation contains {@inheritDoc} tag.

        This is specifically observed with openjfx17 javadoc, which are built with JDK 16.

        It is not observed with openjfx16 javadoc which were build with JDK 15.

        This came up during review of JDK-8250590.
        See - https://github.com/openjdk/jfx/pull/589#issuecomment-888949660

        It looks like this is the result of a javadoc tool bug that was introduced in JDK 16, although even in earlier versions of the JDK, the table has some problems with styling on the rows with overridden methods.
