if the container has very big width. e.g. 60000px
when the content element has a "Left" style which exceeds 32767px, it will not get shown.

If its Left < 32767px and (its Left + its width) > 32767px, it will get partially shown.

I'll upload test html file for it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.see the repro html file: test.html
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
partially shown element and not shown element

Expected Results:  
fully shown as IE and Safari do.

I can see both divs on Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008072820 Firefox/3.0.1 and on a recent mozilla-central build.
However, the issue you are experiencing is likely to be a duplicate of bug 215055, as gecko does not handle coordinates larger than 16bits very well.
