36128 - fixed value for background-image and Textarea

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect, P3)

Description

[boris]

It seems that the value: 'fixed' is responsible for the following behavior:
The background image is reendered in respect to the window not the container 
(cell).
According to CCS-1 the background-image should be reendered in respect to the 
canvas. But this would mean that the image should stay in the right/bottom 
corner of the cell (-> 100% 100%). It does not!

http://basketball.jouh.at/Test.html crashes build 2000033112 (Windows) when this 
style is applied to a textbox.

I opened bug 36242 to take care of the crash. I'm going to attach a testcase 
identical to what we can find at the URL above but which doesn't crash.

Boris- You're mistaken. The following style:
    background-position: 100% 100%;
    background-attachment: fixed;
makes the bottom-right corner of the image stick to the bottom-right corner of 
the canvas. Fixed elements are always positioned relatively to the canvas, not to 
any other element, not even their parent.

The cell on which that style is applied will show only the part of the image that 
intersects with the cell. If you make the page wide enough, you can see the left 
edge of the image. If you make the page tall enough, you can see the top edge of 
the image.

Closed as Invalid.
