See attached file. We should get a scrollbar in the middle of the screen and none for the whole window. It works (at least as I expect it) in Safari and Mozilla 1.2.1. To whom may argue that the html is not valid, I may ask to produce any valid html that does the trick :)

My investigations show it comes from the application of a patch from bug #189840, that broke that rendering for that case in mozilla 1.3. Btw (see comment in file) we are no more restricted to one level. After reverting the patch, I got the expected behavior with SeaMonkey 1.0.2.

Reproducible: Always

of course test case https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=112148 would be broken again, so I am of course not in favor of simply reverting the patch !

to be precise any browser than mozilla gets this correct, but its probably a dupe of the other 100% overflow bugs

So here i am again.

I´ve uploaded two screenshots, of the problem.
Firefox: http://communicators.ag/Firefox/Firefox
Safari: http://communicators.ag/Firefox/Safari

So the images scale is based on the size of the browser window as you can see in the picture of safari.
But why can´t I shrink the window size down in Firefox to make the Image smaller.

Try it!
