I am running Windows XP Pro SP2 with Firefox 1.07. Are you saying you didn't test this on Windows?

No. I'm saying that I don't have access to a Windows box at the moment and that I can only use the OS X versions which obviously don't have the problem.

Yes I obviously didn't test for this exact problem in this exact browser on this exact platform. Probably because the OS X and Windows XP version of Firefox gave the same behaviour so many times inn my repeated save reload rituals that I often would check Firefox (or indeed Netscape) on the platform I was at and not repeat the test.

What would be most useful is if someone with access to a Windows box and a bunch of Gecko-derived browsers could work on a simplified test case that shows what combination of nestedness, overflow: hiddens etc cause things to happen. Does the negative margins cause the problem? If noone else will, then I will. But considering that it's now been shown that Gecko's float engine has been wrong all along (even before Firefox 1.5) and that Firefox 1.0 has problems with the combination of overflow: hidden and position: relative, I'm pretty sure that that will be eventually, rather than urgently.

Anyhow, even if no one is up for doing the test case, can someone please say whether the problem occurs on either the boxes or the borders examples? Or even the simple unadorned one?
