Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Web Painting, defect)

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc (PTO until April 26)]

Buid 2003040105 win XP

1 go to http://pascal.chevrel.free.fr/carnet/
2 mouse over links on the articles

actual result : there is a fixed positionned menu on the right which "shivers"
everytime you mouse over a link and the right border of this div is incorrect,
like three dotted lines when there should be only one. It worked ok like 2 weeks
ago and is OK in Opera 7 and Phoenix 0.5. It looks like a CSS regression.

Attachment: Testcase

Reduced testcase showing the problem. When you mouse over the link on the page,
the fixed positionned menu on the right gets bungled.

Still seeing the problem with build 2003041504
It also affects my Mozilla FAQ page which has a similar menu:
 
http://pascal.chevrel.free.fr/faqmoz.html
(mouse over the fixed positionned menu on the right)

the problem is definitely related to fixed positionning, if you go to
http://pascal.chevrel.free.fr/carnet/ and select the new "No PNG" alternate
stylesheet (which disables PNG background images but also the fixed positionning
of the menu), the problem disappears.
