list-item marker disappears when using "position: relative;".

<ol>
<li style="position: relative; left: 00px;">Line 1
<li style="position: relative; left: 20px;">Line 2
<li style="position: relative; left: 40px;">Line 3
</ol>
Yet another relative / absolute positioning bug... (sigh)

When a LI is abs. or rel. positioned, the frame for the bullets (image or 
numbers) is not even created. 

There are problem in the CSSFrameConstructor: in the positioned cases, the frame 
for the LI is created differently, and in such a way that 
nsBlockFrame::SetInitialChildList is not called, and that is where the bullet 
frame is normally created.

I'm still investigating... If anybody has experience in this area I could use 
some help :-)
Note that as mentioned in another bug, a "display:list-item" frame that is
absolutely positioned, becomes a "display:block" frame and thus loses it's
bullet. I think. Yes, here it is:
   http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visuren.html#q24

Relative positioning is a different matter, the bullet shouldn't go walkabouts 
in that particular case.

Netscape's standard compliance QA team reorganised itself once again, so taking 
remaining non-tables style bugs. Sorry about the spam. I tried to get this done 
directly at the database level, but apparently that is "not easy because of the 
shadow db", "plus it screws up the audit trail", so no can do...

*** Bug 68935 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
position:relative is only one which triggers the appeareance of this bug.

Each of the following makes the list marker to disapear:

position:relative;top:0px;left:120%;width:100%;margin:0px;padding:0px;

This does not affect the list marker:

visibility:hidden;

If you set the visibility afterwards to visible, then the list marker appears.

The same problem exists when using "padding:" or "padding-left:"

<head>
<style type="text/css">
ol { padding-left: 10pt}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<ol>
<li>Line 1
<li>Line 2
<li>Line 3
</ol>
</body> 
WFM now.
