183913 - absolutely positioned boxes in relatively positioned inline bug + hover bug

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 184897

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[Mike Hommey [:glandium]]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20021204 Debian/1.2.7-4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20021204 Debian/1.2.7-4

On the page http://glandium.org/test.html there are 2 bugs :

the first one, (i think) is about the positioning of the span, which should be
just under the text (ie. no margins)

the second one is that when hovering the link, the span correctly disappears,
but doesn't reappear when mouse stops being on the link. If the display
attribute is inverted (ie. none for a .plop and block for a:hover .plop), the
span doesn't appear at all.

The same effect is seen when playing with visibility instead of display.

Note: adding top: 0px; left: 0px for positionning the span shows a strange thing
(see http://glandium.org/test2.html )

Reproducible: Always

Please file separate bugs for each problem...

This is all likely caused by the mess that is rel-pos-inlines as containing
blocks.... :(

assuming this bug is now for the margin issue and bug 184899 is for the hover
problem, this bug is WFM with linux trunk build 20021210 although 1.2.1 displays
as you have described.

Comment 4

[Andrew Schultz]

so what is this bug for?

Comment 5

[Mike Hommey [:glandium]]

right now, nothing, since both parts have been resubmitted (bug 184897 and bug
184899).; sorry again.
I don't know if i should change resolution to invalid or mark it as a duplicate
of one of the resubmitted bugs...

ok... after all the duping I'm gonna reask the question posed in comment 4...
"so what is this bug for?"

That would be much clearer if things were marked duplicate in the other direction.
