164247 - Document not scrolled to top when scrollbar removed

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[[e-mail]]

Using Build ID: 2002082204, Windows 95/XP and Linux
Steps to reproduce problem
1. Maximize or fullscreen the window
2. Load a document that doesn't require scrollbars
3. Shrink the window so that scrollbars become necessary
4. Scroll the document to the bottom
5. Maximize/fullscreen the window again

Expected results: document display after step 5 is that after step 2

Actual results: document does not scroll up, grey area appears at the bottom

Additional information: similar behaviour when deleting text in composer; if the
document no longer requires a scroll bar and the cursor was at the beginning of
the selection before it deleted then layout doesn't bother scrolling.

This testcase showed that if there is very little html object then the scrollbar
is not appearing.  This is because the white space does not have features, like
images, table, etc.  It perform correctly.  When I resize it at the corner, it
perform correctly.  When I make it very small, the scrollbar appear only when it
overlap the html object.  This testcase fit what you're saying then this is not
really a bug.

Maybe I misunderstood.

I've entered a possible testcase as the URL - scroll the first paragraph off the
top of the page then just keep clicking the delete button. Alternatively, click
the delete button until the scrollbar disappears, then shrink the window to make
the scrollbar appear, then scroll to the bottom, then grow the window again.
