254246 - Corrupted box model like elder IE versions in Mozilla 1.7.1 (using CSS)

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Layout: Block and Inline, defect)

Description

[Andreas Pothe]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-AT; rv:1.7.1) Gecko/20040707
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-AT; rv:1.7.1) Gecko/20040707

Mozilla 1.7.1 interpretes the CSS box model in a wrong way: Instead of adding
padding and margin values (like it has done in version 1.5 / 1.6 and like it is
defined in the CSS standard), it uses the corrupted box model from older IE
vesions (IE 5.5 and older) with only the margin value as width :-(

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Define a CSS file using a box model with margin an padding values
2. Define a HTML file using <div>s
3. View the HTML file with Mozilla 1.7.1 and 1.5, which displays it correctly


Expected Results:  
Using the better (correct) box model ;-)

WFM 1.7.1 PC/WinXP checking against Tantek's BMH page.

You need to provide a URL or testcase that illustrates your bug, if you have one.

It seems to be easy to say, that there's no error...

https://apps.bhw.de/apps/beispiel.html shows the bug. Mozilla 1.5 / 1.4 displays
it correct, Mozilla 1.7.1 has the box model bug from IE 5.

I can confirm this bug. Using Mozilla 1.7

I catched the CSS attributes max-width another way than the Mozilla-Team, so it
works now.
