Looks like that table is not being cleared past the float.

A somewhat minimal testcase might be helpful here; I haven't spent the time so far to figure out what layout the spec calls for in this situation, and that would be a lot more likely to happen with smaller HTML/CSS.

I have tested this issue on latest Firefox (44.0.2) release, latest Nightly (47.0a1) build and I could not reproduce it. The box on the right is not overlaps with the section. Chrome and Internet Explorer has the same behavior.

Firefox: 44.0.2 Build ID: 20160210153822
User Agent  Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:44.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/44.0
Firefox: 47.0a1, Build ID: 20160222030212

Considering the fact that the reporter is not currently accepting "needinfo" requests, I will mark this issue as resolved - wfm.

Looks like our behavior here changed between Firefox 41 and Firefox 42.  

Given that, presumably fixed by bug 478834, which was about a very similar (or exactly the same) situation of table overlapping a right-float and was fixed in 42.
