Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 253479

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Xanthor Sccas]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050217
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050217

Mozilla crashes when trying to display the link toolbar which has been
absolute-positioned with userChrome.css

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write in your userChrome.css :
#linktoolbar {position : absolute; bottom : 15px}
or
#linktoolbar>.toolbar-holder {position : absolute; bottom : 15px}
2. Launch Mozilla
3. View > Show Hide > Site Navigation Bar > Show Always
Actual Results:  
Crash

Expected Results:  
I don't know really (about the position of the link toolbar), but no crash.

Tested with different themes.


(I wrote those CSS in order to put the linktoolbar at the bottom of the page. If
someone know how to do so, or to put it in the status bar like with the Fx
extension, or in the top like in attachment 138618 [details], please tell me ;¬])

Bug 253479 has same signature - maybe is related, but it's filled for fixed
position.

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Yep, same issue.  Positioning is not supported in XUL, basically.  Marking
dependent for now, but I suspect a fix for bug 253479 will fix this one too.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
