96965 - Abs pos element with 'top:auto' displaced by first line of following normal-flow inline element.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 94468

(Core :: Layout, defect)

If an abs pos element has (default) 'top:auto', then the top should be 
positioned as if the element had a position of 'static-position'.

However, an inline element following the abs pos element appears to interfere 
with the positioning of the abs pos element, such that it will be positioned 
after the first line of the following inline element.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce: The attached testcase illustrates this.


Expected Results:  A following element should not affect the positioning of an 
abs pos element, and the abs pos element should overwrite the start of any 
subsequent element.
