107227 - Top border not updated correctly for inline element within absolute positioned block-level element

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: GFX, defect, P1)

Description

[Hans Aikema]

When an absolute positioned element contains an in-line element with a border,
the top-border is not updated when all borders should be updated. See the URL
for a testcase. 

Expected behaviour: 
All Href elements change from dashed-blue border to a solid-red border when the
mouse is over it.

Observed behaviour: 
A HREF in a relative positioned <P> works fine, as well as an absolute
positioned, block-level link. 

The (inline) HREF in the absolute positioned <P> only has it's left, right and
bottom-borders updated to the solid-red border, the top-border keeps it's
initial setting of dashed-blue.

Tested on:
Mozilla 0.9.5 (Build-ID 2001101117)
Windows 2000

I see the problem on current linux too.  Looks like the view for the abs. pos.
element does not extend up enough.  Over to compositor.

Bulk moving Mozilla1.01 bugs to future-P1. I will pull from the future-P1 list
to schedule bugs for post Mozilla1.0 milestones
