348307 - Floated elements with links in them jumping round the page

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Mark Brown]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6

If I have a series of floating divs with links in them when I click on one of the links the divs jump round the page and change position, widths, heights.. etc.

A fix I have found is to place these divs inside a parent div with the same float.  But we don't want IE displaying the floats better that firefox now do we?

Love Firefox :)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
<div id=“FirefoxBugfixer” style=“float: left”>
   <div style=“float: left”>Link goes here, Image</div>
   <div style=“float: left”>Link goes here, Image</div>
   <div style=“float: left”>Link goes here, Image</div>
</div>


Expected Results:  
Not changed position just follow the link

testcase is @ http://www.swinburne.edu.au/ict/testimonials/index_test.html

It works fine for me with the latest BonEcho nightlies on Windows and GNU/Linux, but not on Firefox 1.5.0.6 on Windows.

Attachment: Simplified testcase

I confirm this bug, in Firefox 2.0.0.1 on Win32. The attached test case is as simplified as possible.

Confirmed as still a problem in Firefox 2.0.0.3 on Win32.

"Simplified testcase" worksforme on winXP with latest trunk (Firefox3).

"Simplified testcase" works for me too on Firefox3.0b3 - great work, guys.

I suggest this bug be closed as work elsewhere has presumably resulted in the problem going away now.

(btw. 3.0b3 definitely feels faster and less memory-problematic than 2.x - well done.)
