If I create binding3 element then toolbarbutton image is not displayed. It's
right when I specify prefix xul in binding2 content and I don't specify any
prefix in binding3 content. In instance image will be displayed if I remove
prefix from binding2 or add prefix in binding3.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 5

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

This is invalid (and has nothing to do with view rendering).  The <binding2>
element in the XBL namespace gets display:inline, and when you try to stick
boxes and blocks into it, things fail.

This sort of thing is just not supported in XUL at the moment, sorry.

Comment 6

[alexander :surkov (:asurkov)]

Is there plans to support such things? 

It doesn't seem to me it is right behaviour because xul programmer will be
confused when it will be confronted with such thing. It is needed to aware
programmer (in instance element should shout when it cannot be displayed correct
into inline parent) or to support such things.
