HTML file highlighting the problem

When a region is absolutely positioned (position: absolute) and sized by specifying all four of top, left, bottom, right it should size to the size of its containing block. Instead, it "collapses" to a zero-height region.

Nit: The name sounds weird to me (non-native English speaker though), either missing a leading "An" or a generic plural (Absolutely positioned regions do not ...).

Also the name could be improved: you are fixing the case where you have set your logical height and we wouldn't be expanding in the logical width.

> LayoutTests/fast/regions/autosize-abspos-anchoredregion.html:6
> +            .region { -webkit-flow-from: flow; position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; right: 0px; bottom: 0px; background-color: green; }

You are over-constraining your region in most cases below as you have top & bottom, left & right set at the same time, which forces the size of your element.

> LayoutTests/fast/regions/autosize-abspos-anchoredregion.html:19
> +        </style>

A good addition would be a vertical writing-mode test for that too.
