Footer line cuts through middle of page in Firefox [#72604]

The footer line (that is the red and gray line at the bottom) that in IE end up at the bottom of the page cuts through right side blocks if the conent box is shorter then the right hand side.

I have added a screen dump for reference.

I've been looking at the style.css but I don't understand what's wrong (I though the clear:both) would take care of it. Does anyone have a solution for this? Firefox will probably be the main browser for my site.

Also occurs on 4.6.x.

It doesn't happen on Linux RH EE4 and a slightly older FF
So it seems related to either later FF releases or FF on windows XP

Help would be appreciated.

I confirm that the bug occurs with Firefox 1.5.0.4 on Windows XP and also on Linux (Ubuntu 6.06)

This has been reported by several other people on the Mollio google group.. and is from the original Mollio CSS. I'm not sure if anyone has yet come up with a fix.

If anyone finds the solution, please contrib it back to the main Mollio project, and perhaps also make a patch for style.css. :)

I believe a similar problem also affects the right column (sidebar) when configured. It seems that both use absolute positioning and the content is not flowed around them. I have a related issue using TinyMCE and the right sidebar - the editor flows under the sidebar and even resizing the editor does not work! Unfortunately, no workaround, yet...

I have solved this problem, as well as a bunch of others. I will need to do a rewrite of Mollio though, and it will take some time. Rokerr, any problems with a serious mod?

Joshua,

I would be very interested in your solution. Do you have an example site running?

It's by no means complete / perfect, but it does render correctly. The site is still under development, so there are other (obvious) issues to iron out.

Great. I also notice that the bug under IE 7 for the drop-down menu which used to stay expanded is also corrected apparently. That's good news. Do you have a vague date of availability or at least an estimation of the work remaining to be done ?
