118711 - Problems with elements, having display:inline-block

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 9458

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Alexander Grimalovsky]

It seems, there is some problems with handling elements with 'display:
inline-block' style assigned. Especially if they have also 'width' style assigned. 

 I prepare small testcase to display all cases of using these styles together.

I'll have to look at the spec to see if that behaviour is incorrect or just
unexpected, it's a little early in the morning and I'm not fully awake. 

Basically, whenever you have white-space: nowrap; it renders span2 behind span1
(try selecting the second test and pasting it into notepad)

bbl.

ok, I think I see the problem with your example. There is no 'inline-block'
value for the display property, just 'inline' and 'block'. Changing this to
'block' is what you're looking for I believe.

reporter, is this what you expected it to look like? if so, this bug can be
resolved as invalid.

 Actually no. I expect to see 2 spans, 200px width each to be placed into one
line.  Please refer comments to bug 10052
(http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10052#c3) - i get information for
this testcase from this comment.

There is no 'inline-block' in CSS2, but it's proposed for CSS3, and Mozilla
parses it, although it doesn't support it well and we probably shouldn't be
parsing it.

Adding css3 keyword, dropping priority for now pending finalization of spec.

'inline-block' was disabled with the fix for bug 3935.

i see. so i'd like to see this bug duped against Bug 9458 ([RFE] Implement
inline-block in layout) since a correct implementation would imho be the
solution to this one here. but i guess this won't happen, until css3 is a little
more advanced. if anyone resists, please reopen.
