Description

[Boris Savov]

i have a button inside a div which has properties display:inline;
when i set display:none and after that set display:inline the button
doesn't appear on the right position..
if i remove the position attribute everything is allright.
it's on Build ID: 2000072420
here comes the HTML code( click several times on the button ):

<script>
function showHide(){
dump( 'showHide\n' );
	var but		= document.getElementById( 'but1' );
	but.style.display	= (but.style.display=='none')? 'inline':'none';
}
</script>

<button onclick='showHide();'>click me.. and again.. and again</button>
<div id='parentDiv'
style='position:absolute;top:100;left:100;width:210;height:100;overflow:auto;border:double;'>
	<input style='position:absolute;top:10;left:10;'>
	<button style='position:absolute;top:100;left:200;display:inline;' id='but1'
onclick="alert( this.parentNode.id );">but</button>
</div>

Changing the display property from none to inline is not causing the positioning
to be re-evaluated correctly. This looks like it is either a style problem
(impact not correctly hinted?) or a layout problem (the frame is not parented
correctly so the position is incorrect, like bug 34031?).

Needs more investigation.

NOTE: chaning the visibility property instead is a possible workaround...

Accepting and moving to future milestone: we will have to wait until after beta3 
to get to this, along with many other absolute/fixed/relative positioning 
issues.

Upon managerial request, adding the "testcase" keyword to 84 open layout bugs that
do not have the "testcase" keyword and yet have an attachement with the word
"test" in the description field. Apologies for any mistakes.

WFM on a fresh Linux CVS build (the scrollbars switch on and off, but nothing
else moves).  Reporter, is this the correct behavior?
