I want use borders in a fixed-height UL with scrollbars.
(Fixed-height is not needed to demonstrate the bug.)

I want to decorate the LIs with borders.

When I remove the UL padding and LI margins, the right-hand-side of the UL still
has space past the LI block and the horizontal scroll bar needlessly appears on
the UL element.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See attachment, the issue is readily visible.

Actual Results:  
Undesired space exists to the right of the LI borders.
Undesired horizontal scroll-bar appears on the UL.

Expected Results:  
The LI borders fit against the UL borders.
No horizontal scroll-bar appears on the UL.

If you want list items to behave like block level elements, you need to put
'display:block' on them. This might be a bug though.

This WFM in Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b2)

I can't find the duplicate (where it was probably fixed), so marking WORKSFORME.
