Sorry for my last posting, it might have led to misunderstanding.
The snipped sample code
#parent {
position: relative;
width: 750px;
}
...
#parent {
width: auto;
}
results in haslayout=false for #parent. The property 'width' was reset
to its default/initial value in a separate rule set.
Some properties allow for this kind of "reset" or "undo", others don't [1].
Another sample code
#parent {
display: inline-block;
}
#parent {
display: inline;
}
results surprisingly in haslayout=true for #parent, even if display was
reset to its default/initial value in the second rule set.
But you are right, haslayout is not "set" by CSS, and it is not "reset"
by CSS. haslayout=true can be a internal requirement when setting some
properties in CSS. It does not follow the CSS rules of overwriting.
