101130 - Moz gets confused by w3.org CSS page

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: GFX, defect, P3)

Description

[Tuukka Tolvanen (sp3000)]

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/
2. scroll down to Learning CSS
3. move another window on top of the bottom edge of the preceding white area

Weird stuff happens. The bottom edge of the white area which is initially drawn
like /¯¯¯¯¯¯\ gets partially drawn as \______/. Also, the shape of the bottom
edge seen through that semitransparent banner thing is more often the second shape.

Seen with win98 trunk 2001092003 (me) & Linux, yesterday's CVS (choess)

Bug 98252 is the other one about this page.

I don't see any problems with a trunk build from today on WINNT. 
Marking WFM.

Still seeing this (2001102403 trunk), reopening. I saw something like this on
some other site too, I'd add it if I remembered where exactly

I still see exactly the same behaviour as Tuukka, with the 200201703 build.

When I display the page with IE 5/6, well most of it's rendering of this page is
ugly, but I get the feeling it might be right in displaying two layers one over
the other, with "Learning CSS" the text of the lower layer, and then "tutorial"
a layer over that one.
At the place where IE stops the lower layer, we have a much wider than normal
blank area in Mozilla. Quite consistent with the idea that there should be
something there, but it's not displayed.

With Mozilla, I believe the layer below almost fully disappears, leaving only
some strange effects around and above "Learning CSS".

The DOM Inspector shows that "Learning CSS" is inside a div element at the same
level as "What's new" and "CSS brower", and of the same class "back".
"tutorial" is inside a div element of class "back" too, but this div element is
below the "What's new" div element.

This supports the theory that Mozilla gets it wrong.

Bulk moving Moz1.2 bugs to future-P3. I will pull from this list when scheduling
post Mozilla1.0 work.

Moz 0.9.8 on Linux. I can no longer see the visual problem with the box edges,
but the page was probably changed ("Learn CSS" was moved to a different page),
so that might've worked around the bug.

Same on win32. I wonder if they (W3C) read this bug (or, alternatively, noticed
themselves when using mozilla) and did that as a workaround.

Comment 10

[Jean-Marc Desperrier]

Maybe it would be best to create a page to reproduce this problem, and include
it as an attachment ? Comment #5 says it happens on other sites too.
