The fix for bug 7604 corrected the implementation of http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visudet.html#abs-non-replaced-width to use the direction of the containing block. IE uses the parent's direction (even in strict mode). WebKit should retain this behavior in quirks mode for compatibility.

(In reply to comment #2) > missing changelog comments, but posting for mitz to test Thanks! The final patch should include two layout tests, one for the quirk and one for strict mode (as this wasn't covered by any of the existing tests!).

Comment on attachment 8295 [details] patch with test cases Clearing the requestee field since I'm not a reviewer. This is a WinIE quirk (Firefox is totally broken), so your comments need to be corrected.
