Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 50630

(Core :: Layout: Floats, defect)

Description

[Daniel]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

In the webpage I linked, all red border items are right-floated inline with the green border spans. The first example demonstrates two div's and the second example demonstrates two spans.

According the the CSS 2.1 spec, the items should be on the same line as the span. WebKit browsers and Opera do this properly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Put a right-floated item at the end of non-floated inline items.
Actual Results:  
The right-floated item will get its own line even if there is space for it on the previous line.

Expected Results:  
The right-floated item should be inline with the rest of the items, provided there is enough space.
