Details 
Spinoff from bug 297697. While testing the solution for that bug, I noticed that
our general mechanism for exposing bounds does not take into account CSS columns.

In any case, the code in nsAccessible::GetBounds() should be rewritten to use
GetScreenRectExternal(), which does a lot of work for us.

Roc has said not to use GetScreenRectExternal() too much, if we can avoid it, because it's expensive on some platforms.

Anybody can confirm this bug? I tried the attached testcase and it looks columns bounds are correct. Aaron, can you remember who did you get this?
