179428 - {inc}multiple left floats containing images have extra space preceding

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 177331

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

Description

[Glen Campbell]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016

If you look at this page, there's a section in the centre entitled "Recent
Images" . This contains 28 divisions that are all float:left; however, Mozilla
outputs a large number of blank lines before the first floating division. If,
however, you navigate away from that page, and then return to it, it (usually)
displays properly. 

This could possible be a problem with my CSS, but it works fine on 7 or 8
different browsers on both the Mac and Windows platforms.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
all the divisions should be displayed side-by-side without the large blank space
preceding them.

Attachment: somewhat simplified testcase

This seems to depend on having floats within a table.  There's probably
something strange happening for the incremental reflows when the image loads
come in.
