71028 - CSS Width ignored with "display: inline"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 50626

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Alex Bischoff]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; 0.9) Gecko/20010305
BuildID:    2001030505

The test page features two paragraphs. They're identical, except that the second
is set to "display: inline" (while the first is "display: block", the default).
 The second paragraph ignores its assigned width.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the page
2. View the two paragraphs.
3. Notice that the two paragraphs' CSS rules are identical, except that the
second one is assigned "display: inline". And, this seems to cause the second
paragraph to ignore its assigned width.

Actual Results:  The second paragraph is given width of 100%.

Expected Results:  The second paragraph should have width of 50%, as assigned.

All the above is true but it is *required* CSS behaviour.

" 'width' This property does not apply to non-replaced inline-level elements. "

resolving INVALID -- the width property does not apply to non-replaced inline
elements per the CSS2 spec.

VERIFIED that just because IE does it doesn't mean it is not INVALID
