124247 - toggling the visibility of an element is buggy if it's position is set to fixed.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: GFX, defect, P2)

Description

[Scott Benish]

A hidden DIV will not show if it is set with position:fixed, but only if you 
directly roll on to the link that triggers it. If you roll off a link and immediately 
on to another one, it works.

This is hard to explain clearly - hopefully the simplified test case will make 
the problem clear:

worksforme on the testcase, linux build 2002-02-07-07.  Is this mac-only? 
Scott, what build are you using?

Comments from reporter in email:

I have heard that this does not happen on Windows, so I suspect it
very well could be a Mac only issue.

I am using Mozilla 0.9.8, build ID 2002020405

Another test case that does not work (with linux build 2002031008):

<table id="t1" style="position: relative;"><td>111</table>
<table id="t2" style="position: relative;"><td>222</table>
<script>
  document.getElementById("t1").style.visibility = "hidden";
  document.getElementById("t2").style.visibility = "hidden";
</script>

t2 is hidden as expected but t1 isn't.

buildid: 2002041712, mac os X.

I see the behavior described by reporter.

Confirmed using Mac/2002052305 (1.0).

If this is platform-specific, it's a painting problem, most likely....

Comment 7

[Simon Paquet [:sipaq]]

This bug is targeted at a Mac classic platform/OS, which is no longer supported
by mozilla.org. Please re-target it to another platform/OS if this bug applies
there as well or resolve this bug.

I will resolve this bug as WONTFIX in four weeks if no action has been taken.
To filter this and similar messages out, please filter for "mac_cla_reorg".
