cannot scroll to the bottom of the page when using absolute reference in <div> elements

Hello;

If I create a division and position if using absolute reference, moving
the element down using div styles and top: , amaya doesn't allow to scroll
to the bottom of the page. Instead of that, it stops before, as if the
vertical size of the page is smaller than the actual size.

I attach a simple page demonstrating this problem.
(i am working at 1024*768 . If your screen resolution is higher, and the
entire page fits on the screen, just add more hello<br> lines, or use a
bigger typeface until a scroll bar appears)

Expected behavior: if you scroll down until the end of the page, you
should see the last line contained in the division (which reads 'last
line')

Actual behavior: amaya reachs the end of the page, and don't display many
of the last lines.

The page displays fine on all browsers.

I'm using amaya 9.51 and Windows XP.

Thanks,
Fernando
