could be tables, could be floaters.  Need a minimized test case.  Can QA help
with this?

Steve - Can you tell me exactly where on the page you are referring to? There
looks like there is a glitch in the left sidebar at the bottom but otherwise the
page looks okay (testing with 1/18 build)

added screen grab of page to show problem.  The middle column of the main part
of the page is overlapping the left column.

Comment 4

[buster]

added second URL (www.internetnews.com), because it looks like the same sort of
problem.

Okay, I downloaded a more recent 1/18 build and also tested across platform.
Here are the results:

Windows: build 01-18-11
Mac: build 01-18-10
Linux: build 01-19-08

I see the problem now across platform as indicated in the screen shot. I will
try to isolate.

I have narrowed the problem down to the following:

This font tag: 

<font face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size="2" color="#FF0000"><b></font>

is inserted between two <TR> tags in a nested table. In the attachment below, I 
have pared it down as far as I could. If the font tag is removed, tables 
do not overlap.

Using 2/17 build, no longer see the problem. Marking bug verified.
