60241 - Margins ignored in lists

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 27851

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect, P3)

Lists (<UL>) ignore the margins set for lists in the style sheet, and always use
a default value.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Create a page with a nested list, and set the margin in the style sheet to UL {
margin-left : 0px }

Actual Results:  The inner list is indented.

Expected Results:  The inner list should be flush with the outer list.

It doesn't work with LI { margin-left : 0px; } either, so it's not just that the
indent is part of the list item rather than the list itself.

Oops.  Never mind.  It's the padding that does the indentation.  It's the margin
in IE ;-)

Resolving invalid per the "oops, nevermind" comment.  :)

Netscape's standard compliance QA team reorganised itself once again, so taking 
remaining non-tables style bugs. Sorry about the spam. I tried to get this done 
directly at the database level, but apparently that is "not easy because of the 
shadow db", "plus it screws up the audit trail", so no can do...
