User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051006 Firefox/1.4.1

In the page shown, there should be a background image (a rubber duck) in the
lower righthand side. However, the "background-position: bottom right" CSS rule
in "body" (included inline) does not line up the image with the bottom right
corner of the window, but with the bottom right corner of <body>'s content. The
duck is to the right side of the window, but only as far down as the <body>
content extends.

I have tried this in both IE (6.0) and Mozilla (1.7.7), and have gotten the
expected behavior (the duck at the lower-right of the window), so I am assuming
that it is a rendering bug and not simply my misunderstanding of the CSS directive.

Firefox (via the Web Developer Extension) reports that it is running in
Standards-Compliant mode. The document is written in XHTML Transitional, and
both CSS and XHTML are valid by the W3C validators.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Include a "bottom" positioned background image in a page where the body content
is shorter than the window.
Actual Results:  
The background image rests on the bottom of the body's content area.

Expected Results:  
The background should rest on the bottom of the window, if the body's content
area is smaller than the area of the window.
