Description Anton P 2012-07-12 07:20:43 UTC 
Reported by Simon Sapin

10.6.5 ([Height, margins etc. of] absolutely positioned, replaced elements) provides a sequence of substitutions to ensure good used values of 'height', 'margin-top', 'margin-bottom', 'top' and 'bottom'.

However, it fails to cover the case of an absolutely positioned, replaced element with an auto value for 'top' and 'margin-top' and a non-auto value for 'bottom' and 'margin-bottom'.

Comment 1 Anton P 2012-07-12 07:24:43 UTC 
Proposal by Simon Sapin:

In step 3, replace:

  # If 'bottom' is 'auto', replace any 'auto' on 'margin-top'
  # or 'margin-bottom' with '0'.

with:

  | "If 'top' or 'bottom' is 'auto'", replace any 'auto' on
  | 'margin-top' or 'margin-bottom' with '0'.

Note that this is analogous to Step 3 in 10.3.8.
