116320 - relatively positioned inline elements may clip replaced elements

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 79315

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[Chris Waterson]

Stumbled onto this bug while poking around bug 68161. Specifically, it appears
that a relatively positioned inline element does not correctly expand its view
when it contains a replaced element. This can lead to the replaced element being
clipped.

Attachment: Image clipped by relatively positioned 'span'

Here's a testcase modified from one created by doron.  Note that the
relatively-positioned 'span' can't be coaxed into displaying the image with
'overflow: visible', which I added to the testcase on the chance that our UA
styles had a 'hidden' directive somewhere.  The second 'span' is not positioned
and provided for the sake of comparison; the two elements should appear exactly
the same.  Is this simply an 'overflow' bug, or something else?
