165062 - [FLOAT]IE does not wrap two consecutive floaters in a nowrap div

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Layout: Floats, defect, P3)

Description

[Alexandru Savulov]

the testcase in URL shows us that two consecutive floaters can wrap in a nowrap
block. although there are no rules for floaters in nowrap blocks about that, IE
acts different.

the testcase comes from bug 78820

There's no reason to deviate from standards at all unless major pages or
significant numbers of real pages on the web depend on IE's behavior.  If that
were the case, then it would be acceptable to deviate from standards in quirks mode.

(I ran across this bug when searching bugzilla for bugs filed for a different float issue, and figured I'd close the loop while I'm here.)

IIUC, this bug was filed for a case where Mozilla didn't match IE (per comment 0) but did match the standards (per comment 1), on the suspicion that we might hit web compatibility issues. Apparently we didn't run into such issues, though, and our current rendering matches the now-dominant browser (Chrome)'s rendering of the linked testcase, so I think we can close this as INVALID since there's nothing to be fixed here.
