Bug 57214 – REGRESSION: Navigating to a named anchor causes content to shift off page

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: WORKSFORME
• Component: Layout and Rendering

Navigating to the page with the fragment identifier of #commentsList in Chrome (12.0.712.0 dev) causes the content in the main content div to shift up by a couple thousand pixels, cutting off the content at top and leaving empty white space on the page.  Visiting the same URL without the fragment identifier leads to the page rendering as intended.  Visiting the URL with a fragment identifier that does not refer to any page content leads to the page rendering correctly.  Visiting the URL (even with the commentsList fragment identifier) in Safari (tested in version Version 5.0.4 (6533.20.27)) leads to the page rendering as intended.

Do we know if this is a regression?  Safari 5 is a very old WebKit at this point.

Confirmed as a regression between Safari/WebKit 5.0.4 and r81673.

Reduced Test Case

Created a reduced test case

Bug is dependent on the amount of line break elements (br) above floated content inside a parent with an overflow property set to "hidden"

If there are multiple elements like this within a document, only the first one is affected.

I just checked in on this bug in Chrome Mac 12.0.742.16 dev and WebKit Nightly 85595 and was unable to reproduce the problem.  Perhaps another change elsewhere fixed it?

That matches testing performed by us. Thanks for following up!
