Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 65548

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P5)

Description

[Martin Jacobs]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; m18) Gecko/20001015
BuildID:    2000101520

When opening a small window with larger content, content offsetWidth is
shortened to window width.  Window can't be resized according to its content.
offsetHeight still gives correct value.
An M18 bug.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1/open a smaller window (100x100)
2/write larger content into it, enclosed in an absolute positioned div element
3/close document
4/get div offsetWidth and offsetHeight

Actual Results:  offsetWidth is shortened to window width,
offsetHeight works fine

Expected Results:  offsetWidth should give full width of its element, including
overflow.

this regression happens since M18 2000-10-12;
NSpr3 and M17 where OK.

Unfortunately it's too late to fix this right now, it'll haveto wait for hte

Till then, workaround used :

So I have this issue with a div, that is positioned so that half of it is
outside the viewable area (so half of it is to the right, outside the viewport)
offsetWidth returns half the size (ie the area that is viewable).

I assume this is the same issue as this bug, right?
