Created attachment 161137 [details] screenshot1 (expected) and screenshot2 (observed) Expected [screenshot 1] Observed [screenshot 2] From http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#propdef-z-index "The root element forms the root stacking context. Other stacking contexts are generated by any positioned element (including relatively positioned elements) having a computed value of 'z-index' other than 'auto'" reproduces for versions 537.8 (@126787) and 537.4 (@126115) but not 537.1 (@125733)
I can not confirm this behavior in the latest WebKit nightly build for OS X (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_4) AppleWebKit/537.10+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/6.0 Safari/536.25) The nightly build works as expected as does every other browser. Chrome 22 beta and the latest Chromium nightly (23.0.1263.0 (155710)) still fails on rendering the given testcase correctly.

I am unable to reproduce this bug in Safari 15.6 on macOS 12.5 using attached JSFiddle and all browsers (Chrome Canary 106 and Firefox Nightly 104) match with Safari as well. I think it was fixed along the way and can be closed as "RESOLVED CONFIGURATION CHANGED". If I am testing incorrectly, please ignore my comment. Thanks!
