Demo (also [1] if the URL stops working): http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/?saved=5207 In Gecko both <legend>s that are children of <fieldset> create a block formatting context; they contain their floats. The proposal is to only do this for the "rendered legend" (https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#rendered-legend ) to make <legend> in general have less magic. Discussion: https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/2519 Proposed spec change: https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/2718 In-progress CL for Chromium: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/512824/ web-platform-tests: none yet Please raise any concerns in https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/2519 [1] <!DOCTYPE html> <style> .float { float: left; width: 30px; height: 60px; background-color: lightsalmon; } legend { background-color: lightblue; } </style> <fieldset> <legend> <div class="float"></div> Is the rendered legend a BFC?
