Description Beth Dakin 2010-06-17 10:44:11 PDT 
Title says it all.

Test case: http://test.csswg.org/source/contributors/microsoft/incoming/top-with-negative-top-001.xht

Original question: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2009Jun/0056.html

Issue as tracked by WG: http://wiki.csswg.org/spec/css2.1#issue-134

It was decided that the correct behavior would be for the Orange band to be *totally* centered based on the middle of the div, not based on the top as it is in firefox.

Maybe related to bug 14762, according to mitz.

I took the test case from the linked W3 archive and changed it to following JSFiddle:

Link - https://jsfiddle.net/uew2op4f/show

All browsers including Safari 15.5 on macOS 12.4 are rendering "this is some text" in same way and there is no difference in position etc.

I think this was fixed along the way and this can be marked as "RESOLVED CONFIGURATION CHANGED". Thanks!
