Mozilla doesn't seem to handle negative body margins completely.  Although
it does seem to move body content relative to where it would have been 
without the negative margins, Mozilla does not adjust the overall size of the 
pane that is scrolled by the scroll bars or adjust the scrollbar parameters.  

The result is that the edge of the page is not visible, and if the page is 
wide or tall enough to require a scroll bar, the scroll bar doesn't scroll
the page far enough to see the all of the content.




(Not that I want to compare things to IE, but I did check, and IE displays
all the content and, when the scroll bar is need, scrolls all the way to 
the left.)


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. View an HTML page whose body element has negative margins (from CSS).
   (See attachment.)

Actual Results:  
The edge of the page (the content beyond the natural body boundary) isn't 
displayed, and the page can't be scrolled to see it.

Expected Results:  
It should have expanded the pane on which it rendered content to account
for the larger body, and should have computed any scrollbar parameters
such that scrolling would scroll over the whole expanded distance, not just
the natural distance (without the negative margins) of the body.
Notice now scrollbar won't scroll all the way to the left.
(Narrow your window if you don't initially see a horizontal
scrollbar.)
