466651 - CSS overflow properties malfunction after 32768 height limit

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 215055

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Chris Graham]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/2008102920 Firefox/3.0.4 FirePHP/0.2.1
Build Identifier: Latest stable Firefox 3.0.4 on Windows (completely certain about this)

If an element is set with:
overflow-y: auto
or
overflow-y: hidden
or
overflow: auto
(but not overflow: hidden)

and has a height over 2^15=32768 (I think it will be this, I actually roughly measured about 33000), then everything within the element after this height does not render. The element height is correctly rendered, just the contents is cropped.

This definitely does not happen on the Mac Firefox, and I now have 3 separate people seeing the problem, in 2 separate HTML contexts. I've narrowed it down to the CSS given (removing all other CSS).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
See attached HTML file in this topic:

Make sure you're testing on Windows.
Actual Results:  
Blanking out of significant portion of page.

Expected Results:  
Normal rendering, as on Firefox on Mac, or Internet Explorer.

Ignore the UA posted above. I posted the bug from a different browser.
