211830 - Floats are overlapped when background-attachment: fixed is being used on other elements

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 191830

(Core :: Web Painting, defect, P2)

Description

[u103550]

User-Agent:       Opera/7.11 (Windows NT 5.1; U)  [en]
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

Elements with background-attachment: fixed are treated as topmost elements thus 
overlapping other elements that float. Absolute positioning works as expected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load URL :)
Actual Results:  
I cannot read the contents of the page due to the fixed background that elevates 
the element above others

Expected Results:  
Gecko should have rendered the element with the fixed background the same way it 
renders the element with background-attachment: scroll. Problem: Content hidden 
or overlapped. That might lead to a loss of information
