208643 - display overwriting issues with horizontal rule (HR) and right aligned image in doctyped page

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 84887

(Core :: Layout: Floats, defect)

Description

[Brad Wehrwein]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030529
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030529

In the pages at the above URL, the HR element collides with the right aligned
image, but only in pages that have a doctype specified.  If the doctype is left
out, (say in HTML 4.01) then it displays correctly.  I cant imagine any
situation where a web author would desire this behavior.  The page
http://www-unix.oit.umass.edu/~wehrwein/test/html4d.html is the only page that
it displays (to the best of my knowledge, by the standards) 'correctly'.  All
versions display (as desired by me, 'correctly') in Internet Explorer. 
Different examples of the error have been laid out at the above listed (index) url.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create doctyped (HTML 4.01 or XHTML1) page with left/right aligned image
2. add HR below the image, such that it intersects on one side with the image
Actual Results:  
the HR element intersected and kept going-- through my image.  

Expected Results:  
The HR should have stopped when it got to the image, thus allowing the image to
be displayed fully
