Given: <span style="position: relative"> <span style="position: absolute">X</span> X </span> CSS says that both X's should overlap, since the inner span has left/top/right/bottom = auto. When the outer span has non-zero padding or borders *and* the outer span is a first child, the inner span will be misaligned. See attached file for a test-case. <span style="position: relative; padding: 1em;"> <span style="position: absolute">X</span> X </span> Expected result: All inner spans of X's overlap the outer spans (their styles/structure is identical). Actual result: The first set of X's in each DIV is misaligned.

Actually, the position: relative turns out to be entirely unnecessary. Bug still triggers without it.

THis appears to be working now.
