Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: UI Widgets, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1
Build Identifier: XUL Runner 1.8.2

child elements in a stack do not render in the correct order if any of the element's "overflow" style is specified.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
create a XUL stack:

<stack>
 <hbox style="overflow:auto">...</hbox>
 <vbox>...</vbox>
</stack>
Actual Results:  
hbox's content draws on top of vbox's

Any child element of a <stack> element with an overflow value specified in it's style attribute draws on top of elements that have no overflow specified.


Expected Results:  
vbox's contents are drawn on top of hbox's.


Current workaround: either specify both vbox's and hbox's overflow to any value (just needs to be specified, doesn't seem to matter what it is), or specify neither.
