368190 - [mac] Remaining scrollbar footprint after moving and resizing block element (e. g. <div>)

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Thorsten J. Domsalla]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7

After moving a <div> with horizontal scrollbar to the right and making it smaller afterwards with Javascript leaves the drawing of the scrollbar of the <div> as of the time before resizing the <div>.

This only happens on Firefox on MacOS X.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. move a <div> with larger content (so a scrollbar is shown) to the right
2. resize the <div> to a size so its right edge is at the same position as before the move (in step 1.).

Actual Results:  
To the right of the <div> the remains of the scrollbar of the moved but not resized <div> are visible and unusable. However, the resized <div> also shows its scrollbar correctly.

Expected Results:  
No remains of the "old" scrollbar should be visible.

Similar problem also Mac OSX specific. Hiding the DIV element from Javascript also leaves the scrollbar in (or bits of it) visible. Affects latest nightly of FF3 but not Camino.

This bug affects multi-line select boxes as well as DIVs. Id' hypothesise that it affects anything with a scrollbar. It also affects elements which are initially set as hidden via CSS, as well as those later hidden via JavaScript.

This bug was originally reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.8 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
