test case

This test case should show a 100x100 pixel box rendered in the center of the
screen (using -50px negative margins), but does not.

Created an attachment (id=5093) [details]
test case (working)

This test case is identical to the previous one except the styling rules are
applied to a div element rather than the body element. It works.

By the way. The test cases above work correctly in Mozilla and Opera, but for
some reason not in IE. This is strange because the original HTML that the test
case came from did work in IE, and used absolute positioning on the body tag
also.

Testcase works fine with konqueror 3.3beta1. At least 3.3 will fix this
(hopefully).

Reopening. The testcase at stake is 5092.
5093 is only there for reference.

CVS commit by ggarand: 

only disallow fixed positioning (on body in quirk mode), 
not relative/absolute.

regression tested.
