46660 - Mozilla incorrectly displays content marked as z-index:-1 and with position:absoute

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect, P3)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
BuildID:    200072108

Mozilla does not display any content that is marked with the style rules, z-
index:-1; and position:absolute;. This behaviour still continues when the html 
is cut down to its barebones as in the test case.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Load the page
2.Look at it 
3.Analyze

Actual Results:  The page displays no text on the given test case. Generally it 
does not display the corresponding content.

Expected Results:  On the test case Mozilla should display 'This text is zindex 
minus 1'. In general it should display the content that has the style rule, 
unless the z-index has it positioned under other content.

This behaviour has continued on every build I've tested since M16.
