PM 25 CSS feature request/fix

[AdmiralAnimE]

I'm developing a site and I used display:table-cell, position:relative on parent, position:absolute on child. In Palemoon the child element flies off to position itself to the body or some other element, ignoring the parent. This (ignoring position:relative on display:table-cell) is a bug I think in Firefox, however it's fixed in the newer versions. Can you implement/fix this in Palemoon 25?

I guess you're running into bug #63895 from 2000?
If so, no guarantees about which Pale Moon version this will appear in, and I suggest you wrap your elements into a div (as has been the normal practice for the past 10+ years, and a safe bet that it renders correctly in a much larger array of browsers) to position them absolute inside your relatively positioned parent or not use table-cell on the parent (is there a specific reason you are using a CSS table cell here?). I'm aware the CSS2 spec says table elements should be valid parents for absolute positioning but it's simply not that straightforward to fix.

Wow I didn't realize it's that old. I'm testing in the latest versions of the major browsers (IE11, chrome37, ff32), and in general I want to use less prefixes and empty containers to get what I need.
I have parent with display:table, inside column1 and column2. Column2 has display:table-cell because I need it to be 100% height of parent even if column1 has more height, and then I have another child inside column2 that has to be positioned on the bottom of it, and that happens with position:absolute and position:relative on column2. Haven't found any other solution, and this one is pretty easy.
I hoped it'll be easy to fix but take your time if it's not.

edit: I thought the wrapper you suggested doesn't work, but it's fine when I set height:100% to both it and column2. Thanks

What are you trying to do? can you put an example up on the internets.. I personally use table and table-cell in my layout design.. Maybe my css could give you a little bit of insight..

I didn't have .comments_main_wrapper, instead I wanted to set .comments_main to position:relative, so .comments_meta can position itself to it. Table-cell is very useful in general.

Can you just give me an example of what you want exactly?

That's the example, the link my previous post. I wanted to use table-cell parent for position:relative, but until that's fixed I'm using a wrapper.

It should be fixed in v25. At least the test cases for it seem to give good results after the patch.
