User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

When rendering the following HTML/CSS, Firefox displays horizontal and vertical
scrollbars, while IE and Opera does not. (I "distilled" this bug from an actual
page.) However, when the width and height properties are removed, the page is
displayed correctly.

<div style="padding: 100px; width: 100%; height: 100%;">

Reproducible: Always

2. Open it using Mozilla Firefox.
Actual Results:  
Horizontal and vertical scrollbars displayed.

Expected Results:  
Open the file in IE or Opera :-)

According to the CSS spec, the width and height attributes specifies the content
width and height.
The 100% would make them relative to the containing block (Im assuming its the
body element here. This would I imagine make the div the full size of the browser.
Padding is than applied around the content, so the total size of the page would
end up being 200px wider and higher that the browser window.

Wontfix.  We don't want to make this even quirkier.
