301905 - Huge horizontal scroll bar appears due to certain CSS combination

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts, defect)

Description

[José Jeria]

Build id: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4)
Gecko/20050724 Firefox/1.0+

Steps to reproduce
1. Visit http://www.aftonbladet.se or see testcase
2. Note huge horizontal scrollbar

I noticed that the horizontal scrollbar is huge on http://www.aftonbladet.se
(one of swedens most visited websites). See testcase and note that the div is
expanding to much, even though width:375px; is set.

The issue will go away if the font-family is removed. Note that the text will
not appear at all on the page if width:375px; is taken out

No scrollbar in:

Scrollbar in:
2005-03-07-07-trunk

This happens in both quirks and standards mode

Strange, somehow i cannot reproduce this bug here with a current CVS trunk build
on Win2k. Maybe limited to what fonts one has installed?

Yeah, that must be it, I have Helvetica installed on my system. I could upload
it to this bug if necessary.

No horizontal scroll for me in windows 900px-1000px wide in testcase or URL in
Linux seamonkey or OS/2 DPa2.

I tested this on Mac that comes with Helvetica pre-installed and I don't see the
issue

Comment 8

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Is this still a problem?  I have Helvetica installed, and I don't get a scrollbar... (on Linux).

Yes, this is still an issue. Maybe my helvetica font is messed up. Though it used to work before, see comment 2 for when this "regressed"

Comment 10

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Yeah, I saw that.  I see no checkins in that range that would obviously affect this.
