Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

When I click a link in the right-most floated li-element, it creates an overflow, and due to overflow:auto on the ul-element, I get a vertical scrollbar, which causes the li-element to be pushed down a line, and the link isn't registered (browser doesn't follow the link).
I first noticed this problem in Firefox 1.0.x, but just worked my way around it. Works fine in Opera 9 and Internet Explorer 6.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click somewhere on the right-most li-element

Actual Results:  
A vertical scrollbar shows, so the li-element is pushed down a line, and the browser doesn't follow the link.

Actually, the overflow ought to be there initially - but the scrollbar doesn't show until the link is clicked.

Hm, I currently got no Fx 1.5, but I can't see a bug in Fx2, 3 or latest trunk. If there was a bug, it's gone. -> WFM

However, if there's a testcase still showing the bug, please feel free to reopen the bug.
