the problem is that the grippies for a positioned div inside another positioned
div are placed as if the position should be relative to the page (or however it
is explained that thing)
simpler test case:
<div style="border: 1px solid blue; width: 108px; top: 100px; left: 200px;
position: absolute;">x:200 y:100
<div style="border: 1px solid red; top: 125px; left: 150px; width: 171px;
position: absolute;">x:150 y:125 put cursor here
</div>
</div>

Confirming (1.7b wXP) and moving to Editor:core

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, untouched DOM/Storage bug's priority.

If you have reason to believe, this is wrong, please write a comment and ni :jstutte.
