(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

Description

[Jonathan Sully]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a4pre) Gecko/20070419 Minefield/3.0a4pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a4pre) Gecko/20070419 Minefield/3.0a4pre

The input text/value is hidden whenever it is absolutely positioned to the bottom of something. You can make the text show by entering some more text into the input box but it will disappear again once you reload the page.

The problem *seems* to be a similar to bug 373433 which has been fixed.

The testcase works on my Macook (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.9a4pre) Gecko/20070419 Minefield/3.0a4pre) so it might just be a Windows bug.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Firefox 3 / Mozilla 1.9 build
2. Load testcase
3. Look at bottom input boxes
Actual Results:  
Bottom input box text is invisible

Expected Results:  
Bottom input box's should have "Works" in green text. (same as top ones)

JFYI, middle clicking on the testcase page (anywhere) makes the text appear too.

The test case fails on my Camino trunk build and on the latest Minefield build

Works for me on a current Windows trunk build.

Yeah, works for me too on current trunk build. I guess fixed by bug 372703 or bug 373433.
