Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 260980

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Norbert]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8a3) Gecko/20040727 Firefox/0.9.1+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8a3) Gecko/20040727 Firefox/0.9.1+

- extract the attached zip and open the html-file: You can see an bugzilla email
containg a link to an other bug.

- focus this bugzilla-link (therefor hold down the mouse over it, press TAB some
times or search for the link)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:


Actual Results:  
Suddenly a scroll bar appears in the middle of the website!

(I guess that this is caused by the dotted lines of the focused link, maybe they
"oversize" the link.)

If you unfocus the link, the scrollbars disappear.

Expected Results:  
Just focusing links should never make scrollbars appear!

not appear!

This could be similar to bug 252920.

Comment 3

(You may check if this bug is related to bug 255890, because both bugs can be
reproduced with the same kind of HTML-file. But I think they are not related,
because it looks like bug 255890 only can be reproduced with Trunk-builds.)

Comment 4

[Gérard Talbot]

This is probably the same as bug 260980: summary and description suggest these 2
bugs are duplicate.

I think this has been already fixed somehow. 
I can't reproduce the bug anymore in a trunk build of 2004-11-23.

I also think that it is fixed in 1.0. I cannot reproduce this problem that I
have described with the attachement in bug 260980 with firefox1.0 anymore.
