Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050324 Debian/1.7.6-1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050324 Debian/1.7.6-1

When designing a page I decided to use float:left for 3-column layout and middle
column have vertical borders that I want to span in all height.  So I set
height:100% for middle column.

The bug is that in my case it doesn't work the first time page is loaded.  After
reloading the vertical borders span full height.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Follow attachment link and wait images to load
2. Back
3. Follow attachment link again - the vertical border line is not 100% of
containing block height
4. Reload - the vertical border line is now 100% of containing block height

Actual Results:  
In some cases height:100% doesn't work.

Expected Results:  
height:100% should always be 100% of containing block height

I tried to strip as much as I can from the sample page.  It looks like stripping
more leads the problem to disappear.  Someone else may have more luck in stripping.

Can you see the bug with the latest nightly trunk (1.8b) build?
