On a OL or UL item (child elements of display: list-item) when a height is set
and overflow: auto is set un-needed scrollbars appear.  The scrollbars are
removed if the child's display: list-item is changed to display: block.

I am assuming that some padding/margin/border are being added to the list-item
element, but the scrollbars will not go away even if those properties are set to
0 on the list items directly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a list element (OL, UL) with several elements
2. Assign a height to the list element and also assign overflow: auto;

Actual Results:  
un-needed horizontal/vertical scrollbars appear

Expected Results:  
no scrollbars

by changing the LI item to display: block the scrollbars disapper.

Demonstration of the problem

The page sets both the padding and margin to 0, so the bullets overflow.  It's
not just bug 6976, though -- there's something weird going on.

David, what's the weird part?  The fact that you can scroll to the right?

Setting padding:0 on ul element breaks overflow:auto of containing block.

I'm using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2)
Gecko/20050330 Firefox/1.0+ and it appears that both of the testcases above are
working as expected.  Dave, is your testcase working as expected on a recent build?

The testcases behave as expected for me as well. Probably fixed by Bug 240276.
