When adding x px of padding in a div with few caracters, the div width of the
div is extended to a new size. The new size is the sum of the padding and the
fixed width.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Define a css style such as this :
.bas 
{
	padding : 3px 5px 3px 5px;
	position: absolute;
	left: 0px;
	bottom: 0px;
	width: 100%;
	margin: 0px;
}

2. define a div in a page using this style.

Actual Results:  
The width of the div equals width + padding

Expected Results:  
The size of the div would have been fixed to the one specified in the css sheet.
Use of padding must provide white space in the inner part of the div, not adding
extra space.
