Could you please provide a limited testcase.

Comment 2

[John P Baker]

#content has a height of 628 (no units) which is not large
enough so it overflows the box

Comment 3

[Paul van Schayck]

Yup, that seems to be it. Tested it with the Webdeveloper toolbar.

Bug can be moved to TE. Website should be fixed.

there are some more issues on that site see bug 183235, which doesn't just break
lay-out, but breaks functionality....

The problem is the page is displayed correctly by MS IE. So either the text fits
in the box in IE or IE changes the box size. Either way people are not going to
notice that the page is not correct because IE displays it correctly.

In my opinion the best option would be to display a page the same way IE does so
all pages on the web are going to work!!

Well just my opinion.

Indeed that's what this category is for. Since we're basically helping to fix
other people's sites, we prioritize these bugs, based on traffic and on impact.
Different lay-outing for instance has lower priority than broken features.

If you want to help us take a look at

You can use this to contact the web master once a problem has really been
established/confirmed here as a Tech Evang bug.

Good luck!
