156177 - Scrollbar presence shifts Page Content

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 72540

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Jerry Baker]

I will attach test cases that show how the presence of a vertical scrollbar
shifts page content contained in a <DIV>, with right and left margins set to
auto, 1px to the left. Of course this seems minor, but in a site with serial
links (as a tutorial, or other multi-step layout) you can watch the content
shift back and forth on the screen as you advance through pages (which is how I
found this).

Not sure if this is a layout bug, or a bug in the scrollbar code somewhere, but
I'm guessing there is just a math error somewhere in the layout.

Attachment: HTML with scrollbars

Run the second attachment first. I needed this one to be first so I could link
to it from the next.

Attachment: HTML without scrollbars

Load this attachment first and follow the link to the other test case at the
bottom of the page. Then switch back and forth while watching the green <DIV>.
IE6 does not exhibit this problem.

Oddly enough, even NN4 doesn't have a problem with this.
