169677 - document.body.clientHeight = 0 if no scrollbars=1 passed to window.open()

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 180552

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Mark van der Sanden]

The value of document.body.clientHeight when used in a popup is always 0 if no
'scrollbars=1' is passed to the window.open() function. I tried it with Mozilla
1.1 and I just tried it with Mozilla 1.2a. Both got the same problem. I think
this is not how it should be.

WFM using build 2002120808, Windows 2000.

Reporter, can you attach a testcase showing the bug? If bug is gone, please
mark this one as WORKSFORME.

WFM also on XP with build 2002122608. Please reopen if you still see this, and
if yes, then please attach a testcase or url to illustrate the problem.

The problem still exists and I don't think it's the intended behaviour; why
should the document.body.clientHeight be 0 while the body contains content?

During my first submission I used Win98, now I used WinXP with build 2002121215
(Mozilla 1.3a)
