when I load

the text in the central blue area is overlapping the graphics. this doesn't
happens using internet explorer because it uses a vertical scrollbar.


Reproducible: Always

Bug has been confirmed on Firefox/1.4
Seems like some sort of CSS bug?

It's not validating if you don't for a doctype/encoding

The vertical scrollbar appears when I remove 'position:absolute' from
pre.central{} in http://www.televideo.rai.it/televideo/pub/css/televideo.css
(using Mozilla 1.8b1).

The rendering is correct.  The overflow style is on an ancestor of the abs pos <pre>, but this ancestor is not the containing block nor an ancestor of the containing block, so it's not actually being oveflowed, as I understand things...

Right. We're doing the right thing; the overflow:auto block does not clip or scroll the PRE. Did you meant to mark this NEW?

Yeah, since I moved it to the Evangelism product. ;)
