326685 - Enforce that only elements in the normal flow of the root element listen to page-break stuff

Status: NEW

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Martijn Wargers (dead)]

This is a follow-up from bug 287702.
See bug 287702, comment 7 and further:

"User Agents must apply these properties to block-level elements in the normal
flow of the root element."
CSS 2.1, section 13.3.1 on page-break-* properties
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/page.html#propdef-page-break-inside

"position: fixed" elements (and "position: absolute" elements too) are not in
the normal flow of the root element by definition. I'd be surprised if this bug
was valid after all. My 2 cents.

Ah, good catch.  It didn't use to say that... ;)

I doubt that we enforce that, fwiw.  We probably should (and need a new bug on
that).
