Description:
Here is the table layout for the minimal case I could find, resulting in no border between the values in the third column:

{| class="sortable wikitable" style="text-align: center"

! Header1
! Header2
! Header3

-
Row1	Value1.1		rowspan="3"	Value2.1
-
Row2	Value1.2
-
Row3	rowspan="2"	Value1.3
-
Row4	Value2.2
}

I first noticed this bug in the Venue column between the 30th and 40th rows here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Academy_Awards_ceremonies. Although, the comments in the table header seem to indicate that "rowspan" is only supported on the right most column. Is that a known limitation of sortable wikitables?

I'm not sure what the issue is, can you provide a screenshot? I'm attaching one of how it looks to me, it seems alright.

'rowspan' should be supported everywhere in the table, but the rows will be "split" after you try sorting it – that is also expected behavior.

Screetshot of the issue (no cell border in rightmost column).

Here's a screenshot of the repro in Firefox 27.0.1. I just tried IE8 and IE10 and I don't see the issue. I guess it's a Firefox bug.

Attached:

This looks like a FF issue to me. If you google a bit, you quickly find that FF has had a slew of problems with table borders and rowspan in the past.

There seem to be several open tickets relating to this in their bug tracker:
