331729 - [FIX]position: fixed elements are positioned relative to the page rather than the viewport

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Positioned, defect, P2)

Description

[James Ross]

This is the same as bug 268111. The testcase in that bug works as well as the one I wrote for this bug:
  http://silver.warwickcompsoc.co.uk/temp/pos_fixed_jump.html

(note: the server admins [not me] have fucked up the Apache config, so that 500s currently, but it will be fixed soon)

This bug applies to current trunk, but not Firefox 1.5.

This regressed between 2006-03-09-07 and 2006-03-10-13.  Bonsai range:

And I'm seeing this on Linux too.

Looks like a regression from bug 328881 -- we were relying on scrolled frames being positioned at (0,0).
