133036 - image in relatively positioned A does not draw properly

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 79315

(Core Graveyard :: GFX, defect)

Description

[Chris Casciano]

In the above example a link is shifted on hover by using relative positioning.
When this is done the image almost completely dissapears. The CSS:

a {}
a:hover { position:relative; top:5px; left:5px; }

To my shock, it didn't seem to be the switch to relative positioning, but the
use of relative positioning AT ALL that is causing the problem. This second
example uses relative positioning from the outset and the image in never
completely visible.

CSS:
a { position:relative; top:0; left:0; }
a:hover { position:relative; top:5px; left:5px; }


This seems to be a very serious flaw, which I would hope gets the quick
attention it deserves. It also may or may not be related to bug 131475. I could
not decide.

Platform:All/OS:All - I'm seeing this on both my OSX/0.9.9 box and my Win2k box
with a 3/1/02 nighly
