Hi Hussein, I am not sure why I am seeing different results for version 4.4.- than you did.
For this issue our goal is to try to match the way html is renders table with same properties. For this particular issue we could simply calculate and set the remaining width but my concern is if we do this and there are two columns without width specify then that approach does work because for that we should base width's on largest column data for each column and do some sort of best fit calc. like IE does vs. fixed remaining percentage.

This is directly related to table-layout="auto" (the default value). See http://www.w3.org/TR/xsl/#fo_table --- The automatic table layout and fixed table layout is defined in 17.5.2 of the CSS2 specification (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/tables.html#width-layout";). --- This is of course not a proof of what I'm saying but, for example, RenderX XEP[*] does *not* render the first sequence of tables as you expect it. See attached .pdf file. --- [*] Unfortunately Apache FOP cannot render your tables at all.Title: Preliminary Proxy Statement

Orignal html where last cell width not specified. Each item is in it's own table so they will only line up if the width is respected
50
Modified html so last column width is set to 92%
