           Summary: offsetLeft broken within CSS3 columns
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML DOM
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

testcase for bug

I'm finding that the offsetLeft property behaves differently in WebKit than
Firefox for paragraphs nested within a div that uses CSS3 columns.  See the
attached testcase.  With the latest WebKit nightly on Mac, the alert shows 8,
but with Firefox 3.6, it shows 413.  The numbers may vary a bit depending on
font settings, but the key point is that 8 seems like a wrong value since the
corresponding paragraph appears in the second column; the Firefox behavior
seems more reasonable.  This bug is blocking my attempt to port my multi-column
articles user script to WebKit-based browsers:

If a workaround is known, I would love to hear about it.  Thanks!
