94188 - relatively positioned container w/ height stretches to hold child w/ height

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[fantasai]

Overview:

	If the height of an element overflows the height of its relatively
	positioned container, the container stretches to accomodate the
	child within its -border edge-. This does not happen for non-positioned
	elements, and it shouldn't happen for relatively positioned ones,
	either.

	http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visuren.html#relative-positioning

Steps to Reproduce:

	Open up testcase in Mozilla

Actual Results:

	The inner <div> in the second test ends at the border edge of the outer
	<div>.

Expected Results:

	Both tests should render identically.

Tested on Mozilla nightly build (id: 2001080203) on Windows 2000

Additional Comments:

	May have something to do with bug 81780.
