128559 - [RR]{ib}inline-block inheritance breaks on restyle

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 129350

(Core :: DOM: CSS Object Model, defect)

Description

[Marc Loiselle]

Go to  http://www.wwf.com/news/rossreport/.  Only the first line "Greetings from
under the 200X black Resistol hat ..." of the report is displayed.  The text
uses the style storycaption_bk which is defined later in the html.  I will
attach the html shortly.

Buildid 2002022508.  Seeing this problem with Windows and linux.  

The page displays with Netscape 4.x and IE 6.

This is either a parser problem or a ReResolveStyleContext problem.  This HTML
is also so ridiculously invalid that it's not high on my list.

Attachment: Minimal testcase

This testcase makes it easier to see what is happening.  The body tag specifies
that text should be white.  Since the background is white the some of the text
does not display.  Interesting that "Visible" is shown but "Should be visible"
is not.

Attachment: simple testcase

This is a problem with ReResolveStyleContext.  A ReResolve seems to be messing
up inline-block styles.

The patch on bug 129350 fixes this.
