454749 - Absolute positioned child of -moz-column is incorrectly placed

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Positioned, defect)

Description

[philippe (part-time)]

Attachment: test case

An absolute positioned child of an element with -moz-column and position:relative is positioned inside the padding-box instead of the border-box.

Affected: Gecko 1.8.1, Gecko 1.9.0, 1.9.1 b1pre

Attachment: test case 2

With 'right:0;' the element is actually dragged outside of the parent box (by the same amount as the value for padding).
But 'bottom:0;' puts it in the padding-box (vertically)

Added the PrinceXML demo page for @fontface in hte URL field. Various examples use absolute positioning and look bad on Gecko.

(the issue is not visible on the equivalent ALA pages, where -moz-column is not specified)

The infrastructure for this has landed in bug 10209.

Yeah, works fine now, both attached test cases, the test cases in the duped bug and some others I have on my dev server. Marking as fixed by bug 10209. Thanks Ehsan.

@Ms2ger why WFM ? FIXED seems way more appropriate.
