FF-Problem with absolute positioned items and full screen mo

I have a problem only in FireFox 2.0.0.14 (not IE6 or IE7) when the editor is in full screen mode. I have some absolutely positioned elements in the layout and they end up on top of the full screen window instead of hidden by it. The elements that appear on top only have a z-index of 1 and the full screen window has a z-index of 9999. This appears to be related to a difference in how FF and IE handle z-index values (though I haven't created a plain test HTML file yet for verification). Has anyone else seen this problem? I'm going to do some more digging to see if I can uncover what's causing it and see what possible solutions exist.

Re: FF-Problem with absolute positioned items and full screen mo

I spent the time to pare down my HTML to the bare minimum and uncovered a known FireFox bug. One of the elements has overflow:hidden set and that causes problems with the correct z-index ordering (from some comments on the web, it appears this might be fixed in FF 3, but that's not going to help me). I'll need to change the CSS layout for this particular site so it can work with FireFox.

Thanks!
