Created attachment 192447 [details] Test case for growing the element by setting its height * An element in position: absolute inside an element in posiiton: relative inside a table structure (table > tr > td) * The element is programmatically grown either explicitly (.style.height) or by adding sub-elements * The element's height results in it growing out of the current viewport Expected: a scrollbar appears on the page to see the bottom of the element's content (works in Opera, Firefox) Observed: no scrollbar appears (or the scrollbar does not update if there is already one) unless a complete refresh is forced (e.g. by resizing the browser) JSFiddle test case: http://jsfiddle.net/7v39e/ (click "grow" button to add 100px to the cyan element) See also attachment test cases.
