If I have several divs on a page that are all defined as "position: relative"
will exhibit layout problems if the div is hidden and then subsequently shown. 
This is especially problematic if the div contains form elements as those
elements will become unusable.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.look at the two examples given.

Also note that the <fieldset> border is leaving artifacts when divs are 
Hidden/Shown.

form controls.  This is more fieldset trouble, and likely a duplicate of one of
the other fieldset layout bugs.

George, you really want to try a build newer than 0.9.3.  I'm seeing one
painting issue with a background on those testcases, but all the form controls
remain usable.

I've been waiting for a newer build to be made available throught ximian Red-
Carpet.  There seems to be one now, so I'll check it out.  Trying to install 
new builds direct from Mozilla.org over the ximian packages was giving me lots 
of problems.  I can live with artifacts.  The controls were most important.

The new 0.9.5 build from ximian does NOT solve the problem.  A small tweak to 
the testcases (moved the fieldset below the buttons) shows that the issues 
still exist.  Check out the test cases. The form controls become unusable.

OK, I see the bug with the updated testcases.  :)

This isn't identical to bug 52975, but it's damn close ... rods made a note
there that it only happens in fieldsets, so they're at least related.

Attachment: div with display of none; when displayed, form elements are unresponsive.

This is a form with a fieldset with a div inside it containing some form
elements. When displayed, the form elements are unresponsive. (They are not
displayed as disabled though)

Wasn't working on 1.2.1 or Chimera latest, checked 1.3a just before uploading,
appears to be fixed.  Is this the same issue?

Comment 11

[John Keiser (jkeiser)]

Confirmed; everything is working fine now in the original testcases as well as
this new one.  Time, and fixes to both fieldset and form controls, has healed
all things :)

Please reopen if you're still seeing this.
