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

Description

[Andrey Petrov]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows 98)
Build Identifier: 

When we change resolution of screen - changes does not reflects in properties
of 'screen' object, accessed from javascript.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set resolution 1024x768, start mozilla
2. in html page, get some property ( max_y = screen.height; alert( max_y ); ),
   this will show you '768'
3. Set resolution to any other (i.e. 800x600)
4. Repeat step 2 - and see '768' instead of '600'

Actual Results:  
768

Expected Results:  
600

Why do not look for screen parameters any time user requested it?
