364933 - [reflow branch] overflow:scroll, position: absolute hr element now shows a small line instead of a dot

Status: REOPENED

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Martijn Wargers (dead)]

See upcoming testcase.
<hr> and <object> elements now cause a small horintal line with the size of the width of a vertical scrollbar, when they have overflow:auto;position:absolute;.

This regressed between 2006-12-07 and 2006-12-08, so a regression from the reflow branch, probably.

Probably related to leaving room for the size of the scrollbars.  But it seems to me that we probably should be leaving room.

I tried to see if this bug is still reproducible on Windows XP with the latest Nightly and I saw very different behavior across browsers (Firefox, Chrome, IE 8).

I'm attaching a screenshot showing the rendering of these browsers. I'm not sure which is the expected behavior, or if this bug is Invalid based on comment 2. 
Maybe someone can have a look at this and decide if is still relevant or could be closed.
