530920 - Positioning Ignored on CSS :after Pseudo Class

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 238072

(Camino Graveyard :: Page Layout, defect)

Description

[John Fredrickson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_8; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.8 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Safari/531.21.10
Build Identifier: Camino Version 2.0 (1.9.0.15 2009102617)

If I specify a new element on the page using a CSS :after pseudo-selector and then attempt to position it with the following CSS, Camino ignores the positioning attributes:

element {
  position: relative;
}
element:after {
  content: '.';        
  position: absolute;  
  bottom: 0;           
  right: -5px;         
  display: block;      
  width: 5px;          
  height: 18px;        
  text-indent: -5000px;
  overflow: hidden;    
}

Every other browser I've tested (FF3.5.5, Safari4, Chrome4, IE7) displays this element at the top of, and 5px to the right of it's parent element. Camino displays it at the left and immediately below the parent element. This also where the other browsers will display it if I remove the 3 positioning lines ('position', 'top' and 'left'), so it seems that Camino is just ignoring those attributes completely.

Reproducible: Always

Oops, that last sentence should have specified 'right' instead of 'left' when indicating which 3 positioning lines I was removing to test.

Check Firefox 3.0.x; I bet this is a bug that's fixed on Gecko 1.9.1+ (Firefox 3.5.x) but not on 1.9.0 (Firefox 3.0.x, Camino 2.0.x).

Unless philippe knows which bug and can dupe this somewhere meaningful, it's probably safe to mark this WORKSFORME.

Ahh, you are correct, FF 3.0.11 has the same issue. I didn't realize that Camino 2 and FF 3.5 were on different versions of Gecko, my apologies.

Is there a version of Camino available with Gecko 1.9.1+?

No worries, glad to know it's what we suspected :)

Not yet, but you -- or someone you know -- might be able to help us with that:
