width calculation in tables

the included files demonstrate a possible problem in Amaya 8.6
the second td in the table has a width property of 100% .....
Instead of this being calculated as 100% of space REMAINING 
after left cell is drawn,  it appears to use 100% of total width of
the table ....  probably a mathematical slip

after 25 years of being a math professor, i retired and promised
never to do math in public again --- not even at market cash register ;-]  
but this is one problem that i see in a friends website .....
