4572 - {inc} {css1} clear not working on inital load, causing weird overlap of floats

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Layout, defect, P3)

Description

On initial load, the clear below the test that begins (roughly) "See the
description on the right hand side." doesn't work, causing the large float
there to overlap with the HR just below and the floats in the next two tests.
Even if it was just the clear not working, the floats wouldn't overlap.  It's
as if everything is moved up, under the bad float.  It all goes away on reflow.

I think I'm seeing a similar problem on

http://style.verso.com/boxacidtest/half/

and it seems that the problem may have something to do with the container of
the float being collapsed away.

Still occurs with the 19990614 build.

There are problems with the half-size boxacidtest having to do with rounding.
See bug 4098.

The boxacidtest problem is probably a separate bug, since it doesn't strictly
have anything to do with clear.  It has more to do with the BODY element, since
it occurs in http://style.verso.com/boxacidtest/vd/ on initial load but not in
http://style.verso.com/boxacidtest/divs/ .  What happens there is that the text
is not flowed around the floats.

See bug 7400 for that problem with the boxacidtest.

With the Sept 23rd build, this problem appears to be fixed.

Migrating from {css1} to css1 keyword. The {css1}, {css2}, {css3} and {css-moz}
radars should now be considered deprecated in favour of keywords.
I am *really* sorry about the spam...
