You can immediately see the deferent’s. I believe that the result in 1.0final
is the desired result.

Not really, the BODY element does not have a height of 100% so it should not
appear at the bottom of the screen.

->INVALID

Comment 5

[Joël Kuiper]

Applying it to the HTML or :root gives me the same problem

Comment 6

[Anne (:annevk)]

That is because the HTML element does not have a height of 100% as well.

Comment 7

[Joël Kuiper]

Yes but it still doesn't work when applying min-height: 100% or height: 100% on
the body element

Comment 8

[Anne (:annevk)]

Because then the BODY element will get the height of HTML element which is still
auto and not 100% ;-)

However, bugzilla is bug triaging system, not a user forum to ask questions
about CSS.
