239421 - {inc}extra margin

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Floats, defect)

Description

[Bertrand Croq]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.2) (KHTML, like Gecko)
Build Identifier: Debian/GNU/Linux and Windows ?2000

The given page presents a list on the left, and a "configuration" on the right. 
When loaded, there is no configuration on the right and the layout is ok. When 
clicking on "a" or "b" in the list, the configuration appears on the right, but 
there is an extra margin at the bottom of the box! 
 
I used DOM inspector to find which box was generating this margin but I wasn't 
able to find it. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. load the given url 
2. click on "a" 
Actual Results:  
An extra margin appears at the bottom of the page 
 

Expected Results:  
This extra margin shouldn't be here (it is not present with Konqueror)

Not a bug in painting...

The problem is that the height of the form changes but the clearance margin of
the div below it does not.  It probably should.

Reporter, you could attach the testcase to this bug so it won't get lost, that
would be much appreciated.

Testcases appear to behave the same way in these two builds:
- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/2006120606 Minefield/3.0a (pre-reflow branch)
- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/2006120804 Minefield/3.0a1 (post-reflow branch)
