When - a div is absolute and its height is not specified but must be computed from top and bottom, - a nested absolute div has its size computed from parent (correctly computed) - a nested image inside the previous, with relative height got an incorrect size The image size is calculated relative to body rather than closest positioned parent. Strange enough, calculation of the width is correct. See test case in attachment.
