Bug in truglass engine??

Question

I've discovered few days ago that my window decoration isn't shown properly. I'm using "Real Minimal Widget Style" as emerald theme which should be looking so:

But somehow I'm having something like this:
Changing the engine to "vrunner" the title bar looks fine, but in "truglass" there's something wrong

Answer 1

I don't think Firefox will change how position:absolute works in table cells, unless there is a standard (e.g., something in CSS3) saying it should work a different way. That's usually what you need to see a change go through.
In Firefox, I think the height of a td element is always auto, so since % height is a function of the parent element height, it doesn't work in a td.
As you can tell, the developers long ago decided not to support the use of tables for layout purposes, and given the opportunity to comment, they probably would suggest using a block container such as a div element instead of a table.
If you want to pursue alternate designs, a better forum would be the unofficial [http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=25 mozillaZine Web Development board].
