Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect, P3)

Description

[ckritzer (gone)]

Overview: In verifying bugzilla #22853, I discovered that on Linux6 one of the 
absolutely positioned text controls overlaps its neighbor.

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Inside firewall, goto above url.  Outside firewall, download attached file 
(courtesy of buster - thanks dude!)
2) Look @ second set of text controls.  The left one overlaps the second one.

Expected Result: Text controls sit side by side with no overlap

Actual Results: One text control overlaps its neighbor

Platform found on:
 - Linux6 2000-02-16-16 Commercial build

Additional platforms tested:
 - MacOS9 2000-02-16-16 Mozilla build (bug does not occur)
 - Win98 2000-02-16-16 Commercial build (bug does not occur)
Additional Info: n/a

With the new absolute positioning code checked in the page is laying out 
correctly

Note that Nav 4.x doesn't lay it out correctly
