There are a couple of floats. Two go left and two go rigth. These should be at
the left and rigth top. But a left float stops a rigth float from being at the
top, even due there is space. Then there are also first letters float. There are
displased from the orginal text to the place where the least float it, even due
this can't reach it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
See the test case. I don't feel sure about this.

  5. "The outer top of a floating box may not be higher than the outer top of
any block or floated box generated by an element earlier in the source document."

This explains all the problems you reported.
