155255 - Absolute left position effected by padding-left when position set by right

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[Jerry Haltom]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020612
BuildID:    2002061223

That's a bit hard to explain.  I have an div position absolute, top 0, right 0.
 It's in the top right corner of the document.  Extending the padding-left
should leave the div in the upper right corner, however, the right border of the
div moves away from the right border of the window while at the same time
extending the left padding correctly.

My document is a correctly formed XML document marked with a correct XHTML 1.1
doctype.  IE does view this as expected (drat!)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

div {
  border: 1px solid #000;
  position: absolute;
  top: 0px;
  right: 0px;
  padding-left: 50px;
}

I just tried to write a testcase for this and it worked as I expected.  Could
you attach a testcase that shows the problem?

Im not sure what you mean by trunk... im a bit new at this mozilla bugzilla. 
However, I downlaoded 1.1a alpha for linux x86 and the problem still exists.
