48869 - [FLOAT] Rightfloats isn't positioned correctly when it's wider then window.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

[Jonas Sicking (:sicking) No longer reading bugmail consistently]

An image floated to the right (float: right) isn't positioned correctly if it's 
wider then the window. Steps to reproduce:

1. Load the supplied URL
2. Grab the border left and the right frames (the vertical border)
3. Move the border to the right until the gnu-image is wider then the frame.

Parts of the gnu now goes "off-frame" to the left but should go "off-frame" to 
right. I.e. the left edge of the image should be visible in the frame and the 
right edge should be outside the visible area to right.

Also no vertical scrollbar is shown

Triaging Clayton's list:

Yet another problem with floats, destined for some of buster's loving attention.

Steve, please check it out when you can.

Which spec is it that makes you think that the behaviour you describe is the
correct behaviour?

As I understand the CSS2 spec, what we are doing is correct.

The problem is really that we should be able to show a scrollbar to the left/top
of the origin.

Um, do we have a bug on not being able to scroll past the top or left?  I can't
find one.  I almost filed one at least twice, but I don't think I ever did...
