Created attachment 8096 [details] screenshot No problem on IE 8; on IE 6 there's no sliding. Bug occurs on IE 7. See attached screenshot -- actual page contents don't seem to move down when the jsMessage box slides down in IE 7. The page title does, which leaves the title and the watch info box overlapping other stuff on the page. Seems fine on MonoBook. No difference whether using text or icon watch tab on Vector.
Problem does not appear on prototype -- new code in 1.18?

This happens to me on IE8 on Windows 2008 Server with MediaWiki 1.17.0. MediaWiki:common.css and MediaWiki:Vector.css and My own user CSS pages are all empty.
I notice I can avoid this problem by commenting out the #bodyContent { position: relative } rule from Vector's screen.css This was added in r52855 by Trevor "to allow absolutes to be relative to it, rather than #content". I'm not sure offhand what will/won't be changed by changing that.
I can confirm that placing this line in mediawiki:vector.css eliminates the problem: #bodyContent { position: static; /* default "position" value */ }
Yes, but it also likely breaks a huge load of templates and gadgets that live inside the bodyContent and position things around the article (such as top icons, and widgets that live next to, above or below the article)
I can't seem to reproduce this in MW 1.18.1. The file changed in r52855 (see Comment 4) no longer exists (skins/vector/main-ltr.css). However, #bodyContent does still have "position:relative" in skins/vector/screen.css.
Obsolete with bug 26888.
