This has nothing to do with float.

The site simply has a fixed width for the content in question and the CSS says
to hide any content that overflows the width.  So we're doing what the code
says to do.

It works in IE because IE has bugs with how it applies width.

This is a TE bug.  Reporter, I would suggest you write to the site (you can
refer them to this bug's URL) and ask them to fix the problem.
