Text inside a bordered floating DIV overlaps the text flowing around it, because
the first line is left empty

Expected Results:  The text should remain inside the boxes drawn around it

(this is the HTML that causes a problem)
<div style="width: 170; height: 64; float: right; border-style: ridge">

<p style='margin-left:0in;mso-layout-grid-align:none;
text-autospace:none'><i><b><font size="2">The aim of F# is to have a mixed 
functional-&nbsp; imperative language that works together seamlessly with C# and 
other .NET languages.</font></b></i></p>

</div>

Is the text rendering problem inside the divs in
http://www.worditude.com/ebooks/htmlbooks/vrabbit.html
related to this bug?

Actually IE5.5 appears to blow this. Read

http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visudet.html#propdef-height and 
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visufx.html#overflow

and see if that answers your question. [Um, there is the other thing
about margins not collapsing between <div><p> and I don't know offhand
whether that's a bug or not].

What I was reporting actually works in IE 5.5.

What happens is that the height of the box around the floating paragraph is ok, 
but there is an empty line before the start of the text, and thus the last line
falls outside of the boxed floating paragraph.

so instead of:
+-----------+
|bla bla bla|
|bla bla    |
+-----------+

mozilla renders this
+-----------+
|           |  <--- the empty line I'm referring to
|bla bla bla|
+bla-bla----+

Seing this on Win 2000 and Mac OS 9 as well, the page renders correctly in 
Netcape 4.

This seems like it's just like bug 33784, except for floats instead of table
cells.  (Margins don't collapse through borders.)

Check out bug 150198, that one has the same URL as this bug, but that one is a
Tech Evangelism bug.
