53978 - [ABS POS]min/max widths not affecting auto margins correctly

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout: Block and Inline, defect)

Description

[David Baron :dbaron: (⌚️UTC-4, no longer working on Mozilla)]

min and max widths aren't affecting auto margins correctly - the resulting width
is the one that should affect auto margins, but that isn't what is happening.

steps to reproduce:
 * load http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~dbaron/css/test/sec1004b

Some of the paragraphs that the text says should be centered are not centered as
they should be.

This is a regression sometime since 2000-04-08, according to my previous list of
CSS test results.  Maybe due to Troy's new absolute positioning code?

P3 bugs are getting moved to "future" milestone.  They will not be addressed for
NS6 RTM.

nominating for dogfood (from sdagley's list of bugs that are good candidates for 
our next release)

Chris, can you evaluate the dogfoodness of this and also reassign to an
appropriate engineer?  How much does this bug contribute to the complaints about
pages not looking right in N6?

Comment 6

[karnaze (gone)]

I don't believe there are a lot of pages using min-width and max-width. It is 
unfortunate that this is a regression (a very old one), but this is not a 
dogfood bug as far as I can tell. Reassigning to attinasi.

[Marc Attinasi]

Accepting, leaving as future for now...

Everything looks like it should (I guess) on all cases.
