A div with a lot of content, with overflow set to auto, will hide part of its content, if the width of the div is also set.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create an HTML doc with this content:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Test FF overflow error</title>
</head>
<body>
<div style=
"min-height:500px;width:600px;margin:auto;overflow:auto;">
Add a lot of text here, I used 8000 lines with a break at the end
<div style="color:#F00;">END</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
2. Open the HTML page in FF 2 or FF 3
3. Scroll down, the content disapears after around line 1650 in my example
Actual Results:
If you Scroll down, the content disapears if you scroll down enough.
You will not see the red word END at the bottom of the div.
Expected Results:
Content should be visible, if you scroll down.
This might seem like a theoretical problem, but we discovered this while using an open source CMS, where one of the administrative pages is quite long. I reduced the problem to the example HTML file.
I only tested this on Windows.
