Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Wilton Pyle IV]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040519
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8a) Gecko/20040519

This is a rather complicated bug. Complete statement: Suppose there is a 3
column table, with spacers in the left and right column, so that the middle
column is centered, and the table is absolutely positioned. Suppose there is an
aboslutely positioned div in the center column. Suppose there is enough content
in the page causes the scrollbar to appear. If a :hover event that causes reflow
triggers inside the div, the div will jump to the left a bit.

I've stripped down the page I discovered the bug on to bare essentials,
excepting bg colors so what is happening can be seen.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
The jump shouldn't happen.

Maybe this has got something to do with bug 175364.

I tried this
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041002
and it appears to be fine now. Probably had something to do with the bug that
was causing problems with slashdot. I'll mark this fixed.
