171315 - Overflow:visible for a nested absolutely positioned image is not rendered.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Gérard Talbot]

Overflow:visible for a nested absolutely positioned image is not rendered. I
strongly suspect a regression since NS 7.0 final release does render the image
entirely.

This behavior is observed on Windows XP Pro SP1 with build 2002092617

A reduced test case will follow.

Attachment: Complete self-explanatory reduced test case

NS 7.0 final release, MSIE 6, Opera 6.03 all render the image completely and
comply with the declaration overflow:visible .

This works in 1.1; it must be a recent regression.

regression between linux trunk build 2002091621 and 2002091804
current 1.0 branch (CVS) is fine.

This testcase is invalid and what we're doing now is correct. The IMG overflows
the blue DIV, but the blue DIV is overflow:hidden, so the IMG is clipped.

Setting overflow:visible on the IMG has no effect. overflow:visible means that
any overflowing children of the IMG would not be clipped by the IMG, but of
course there aren't any children of the IMG.
