KNOWN BUGS:
===========
* In 'log' view menu is generated on the right side of whole page,
  instead of at near date, as is the case with 'summary', 'commit',
  'commitdiff', and 'tag' views.

I'm not sure if it is behavior expected by CSS visual formatting model
or not: the issue is with absolutely positioned block element

  div.popup { position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0; }

inside relatively positioned _inline_ element

  span.marker { position: relative; }

In this case 'top: 0; right: 0' refers somehow to parent block element
of inline element... at least that's what I think.  Note that also in
the case of 'summary', 'commit', 'commitdiff' and 'tag' views the popup
position is not entirely what one could expect...

What is strange is that 'top: 0; left: 0' works correctly (sic!).

This looks like a bug in Mozilla 1.7.12 (Gecko/20050923) I ordinarily use.
Checking simplified test case with Konqueror 3.5.3 shows correct behavior
for all combinations of absolute positioning, at least when

    span.marker { position: relative; display: inline-block; }

Without "display: inline-block;" the "top: 0; right: 0;" is displaced
compared to the end of marker.


Because vger anti-spam filter doesn't like HTML attachments, you can check
test case here: https://gist.github.com/912389

Try it also with 'display: inline-block;' uncommented.
