228402 - blatek.25.pl - page blank in 1.6a and 1.6b, but works ok in all earlier versions

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 225811

(Core :: Web Painting, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031210
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031210

Mozilla 1.6a, 1.6b and recent Firebird nightlies have problems with rendering
the http://blatek.25.pl/javascript and http://blatek.25.pl/intro/intro.html
pages. They both display only the background without the dynamic content
generated with JavaScript.

I am not sure what causes this error, though.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://blatek.25.pl/
2. Go to http://blatek.25.pl/javascript/

Actual Results:  
In 1 - only a blank dark-blue page can be seen
In 2 - only the background of the page is visible

Expected Results:  
Both pages should look like in Mozilla 1.4/1.5/Netscape 7.1

This is not an evangelism issue, since this site does work in earlier version,
This is surely also not a JS issue, since there are no JS errors on this page.

The regression probably happened between 1.5 and 1.6a.

All tests were done on Linux, official Mozilla builds with gtk1 and gtk2: 1.5,
1.6a, 1.6b and Netscape 7.1.

body{overflow:hidden;} and absolute positioned elements trigger this bug.

-> DUPLICATE
