Details

apologies in advance for any procedures i've not followed correctly; i've done 
my best but this is the first time i've tried to report a mozilla bug.

when setting the 'padding' attribute in a style sheet, mozilla does render the 
padding correctly but also adds that same number of pixels to the total width 
of the layer.

for example, setting a width of 150px and a padding-left of 10px results in a 
total width of 160px, not 150px as it should be.

i discovered this on a page that i'm writing locally, and testing on ie5 and 
nn6.  it is very simple to reproduce.

i am running pr2. (2000080712)

Closed as Invalid: 'width' specifies the content width, not the containing block 
width. See http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/box.html#box-dimensions and
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visudet.html#q6 for more details. Mozilla and 
MacIE5 get it right.
