72059 - Mozilla allows CSS controls to overwrite parts of the window.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 5195

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[dylang]

On the page I have in the URL box, I have an example article with some CSS and a
floating menu box.  I've played with the width, and produced a box which covers
the scrollbar of Mozilla build 2001031208 at a res of 1152x864.  I really don't
think CSS should be able to overwrite parts of the browser frame -- it's too
easy to spoof controls that lead to goatse.cx :)

I cannot reproduce this with the new viewmanager.  I _do_ see this with the old
viewmanager.  Marking duplicate of "Fixed positioned elements drawing overtop of
scrollbars [FIX POS]".

Dylan, to try out the new viewmanager (which should be on by default within
days), add

 user_pref("nglayout.debug.enable_scary_view_manager", true);

to your prefs.js file.  It fixes many bugs related to fixed positioning.
