101511 - removeChild and appendChild break boxObject x/y/width/height

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Colin Phillips]

building XUL programmatically using removeChild and appendChild breaks the
consistency of the boxObject's width & height properties

[David Hyatt]

My examination of the box object code shows that the x/y/width/height props
should all be kept up to date on every query.  I will need to see a specific
testcase highlighting a problem in order to proceed.

Added test case.

The problem seems to be with appending image elements. 

It is also sensitive to the XUL cache. If the cache is ON both the image test
and the image-within-an-xbl-tag test will be wrong the first time. If the cache
is OFF the image test will always be right and the XBL test will be wrong the
first time after a reload.

Is this affecting OEone, or just a mozilla1.0 correctness issue?

Comment 5

[Colin Phillips]

It's both.

Why do you think if you setup attribute by setAttribute() method then you'll
change  attribute of anonymous elements, witch inherits this attribute. You can
check it when you'll add some method into your xbl, in example:
<method name="get_original_src">
  return document.getAnonymousNodes(this)[0].getAttribute("src");
</method>
and execute this method after creating xbl. This method returns null.
