Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 225811

(Core :: Layout: Positioned, defect)

In older versions of Mozilla (Firebird, but I'm guessing it's not Fb-related),
there used to be a little Greek pi in the bottom right hand corner. As you can
see in the source (of the main frame), the symbol is positioned absolutely,
using a div, at 15px of the edges. It's always worked in MSIE6.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:




The symbol is an easter egg (inspired by the movie The Net), so it's supposed to
do that crazy color thing when you click on it.

Shows up on small(er) window size... I'll see if I can figure out the problem.

Aaah, that was simple: The body of the page has overflow:hidden, and that makes
the pi dissapear when the body is completely showed by the page.

Not sure if this is a bug or not, I'll look at the spec and search for dupes...
