262556 - Link adjacent to floated container jumps away when clicked (Mozilla 1.8a4)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 261153

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Per Ångström]

I have found a disturbing effect in Mozilla 1.8a4: when clicking on a link
adjacent to a floated image container, the entire text block jumps away and is
relocated below the floated area.

How to reproduce:
1) Go to url: http://www.autark.se/designdiskussion.html#textstorlek.
2) Click the link "Font Size Demo".

Desired behavior: the browser should follow the clicked link.
Actual behavior: the browser reflows the page, leaving an empty spot in place of
the text containing the link. The link is not followed.

The same behavior, to a lesser effect, can be observed by clicking on the link
"Snabbval" in the same page's header area: the link jumps down a bit when clicked.

This seems like a recent regression, since I cannot reproduce the problem in
1.8a3, nor in Mozilla Firefox, build 0926.
